Abstract

This paper explores the complex world of Marxist dialectics by looking at its intellectual foundations in the dialectical traditions of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and how Karl Marx's work transformed them. By understanding the interconnectivity of opposing forces, contradictions, and the growth of these conflicts across time, dialectics is an analytical method that aims to comprehend social and historical development. This essay explores the complex universe of Marxist dialectics, demonstrating its foundations in Marx's political-economic technique and Hegelian philosophy. The Hegelian philosophy acts as a fundamental forerunner, illuminates the interconnectedness of the cosmos and the omnipresent Spirit, and offers a basic framework for comprehending the growth of Marxist dialectics. The basis for developing ideas and advancing human intellect was provided by Hegel's dialectical method, which is typified by the triadic structure of thesis-antithesis-synthesis. Marxist dialectics, however, expands and changes Hegel's framework to address socioeconomic and ethical issues. The Marxist Ethical Structure emphasizes the moral justification in the Marxist dialectical paradigm. This study also examines Marx's political economy methodology, a crucial aspect of Marxist dialectics. In this essay, we clarify how the synthesis of Hegelian dialectics, Marxian ethical reasoning, and Marx's political economy approach leads to Marxist dialectics' distinctive and dynamic Nature.

Keywords : Marxist dialectics, economy, philosophy, Ethical Structure.

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.
