Abstract

Modernist literature (ML) is a literary movement that first appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is distinguished by an acute departure from conventional narrative structures and a significant focus on the investigation of personal awareness and Deconstruction of Subjectivity (DS). This study analyzes the complicated connection between ML and Immanuel Kant's explanation of the philosophical idea of DS. ML developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries broke conventional narrative norms and put a significant emphasis on exploring personal subjectivity and knowledge. This study addresses that ML and Kantian philosophy interact in-depthly, combining the divide between the disciplines. This analysis explains that the results deconstruct subjectivity, requiring readers to reconsider their views of reality and identity in a constantly changing world, by evaluating significant texts from European and American literature that are part of the ML and DS. Concerning ML and its fascinating dialogue with Kantian philosophy and the standards of European and American literature offers insightful perspectives on the development of literary conceptualization. In addition, it promotes a more in-depth comprehension of the enduring concerns that surround human consciousness and perception, resonating with modern discussions in the fields of philosophy, psychology, and literary theory.

Keywords : Modernist literature (ML); Deconstruction of Subjectivity (DS); Philosophy; Kantian philosophy; European and American literature.

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.
