Abstract

Utilizing the KJ method, the cognitive elements of images of Japan in the survey results were classified into 24 categories, which were rich and diverse in content. A meticulous analysis, grounded in frequent pattern mining, has unveiled a notable trend: as the academic levels of the students increase, there isa corresponding rise in the support for elements that reflect the current social landscape of modern Japan. Conversely, the support of images associated with “Japan in the past” is observed to be on the wane. Furthermore, middle school students predominantly receive information in a passive manner, whereas high school students, with the burgeoning of their “formal operational thinking”, start to actively seek out information. This proactive approach stands in contrast to the more measured and rational information selection and comprehension exhibited by university students, who demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the information they encounter.

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.
