Abstract

The current study explores the relationship between cognitive semantics and cultural identity in Peel's movie Get Out. The problem of the research is how metaphorical and semantic frameworks underlie the depiction of race identity in the movie. The significance of this research lies in film linguistics because it aids social commentary on movies. This study uses a mixed method combining cognitive semantics and film language analysis to focus on the metaphor frame in sentences film. It enables people to understand where and how integration is going on, along with backgrounds unifying exclusive groups. This methodology embodies the definition of race resistance in Get Out from two angles: cognitive and frame semantics, which seek where specific questions are placed in cultural identity construction. In this study, it is discovered that in Peele's film, cognitive and semantic devices are used skillfully to challenge the audience's perception of race identity. For example, metaphors such as the “Sunken Place” are used to symbolize systemic oppression. The study further recommends investigating how movies use cognitive semantics to deal with social and political problems. Doing such analysis can help to explore dark regions within cultural storytelling. This interdisciplinary viewpoint demonstrates that films possess a tool for cultural critique and altering society.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
