Abstract
Examining the development of Arab-Muslim identities in Hollywood and Egyptian films, the presented study tracks their transition from orientalism to neo-orientalism and Islamophobia. Utilizing an interpretive method, the research explores pre- and post-9/11 films by delving into textual analysis. During Hollywood's pre-9/11 era, stereotypes were reinforced, but post-9/11 works greatly magnified Islamophobic representations. While some cinemas may have emphasized external changes, Egyptian cinema focused on challenging internal preconceptions and embracing the complexity of the surrounding world. The research highlights the media's powerful role in forming opinions and advocates for responsible reporting. Media literacy programs hold immense potential in challenging stereotypes, and diverse representation is key. Collaborating with filmmakers, studios, and audiences is vital to ensure the responsible portrayal of Arab-Muslim identities.

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.
