Practical guidelines of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot, European Society for Vascular Surgery, Society for Vascular Surgery on the prevention and management of diabetes-related foot disease 2023

Diabetes‑related foot disease results in a major global burden for patients and the healthcare system. The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has been producing evidence‑based guidelines on the prevention and management of diabetes‑related foot disease since 1999. In 2023, all IWGDF Guidelines have been updated, based on systematic reviews of the literature and formulation of recommendations by multidisciplinary experts from all over the world. In addition, a new guideline on acute Charcot neuro‑osteoarthropathy was created. In this document, the IWGDF Practical Guidelines, we describe the basic principles of prevention, classification and management of diabetes‑related foot disease, based on the seven IWGDF Guidelines. We also describe the organizational levels to successfully prevent and treat diabetes‑related foot disease according to these principles and provide addenda to assist with foot screening. The information in these practical guidelines is aimed at the global community of healthcare professionals who are involved in the care of persons with diabetes. Many studies around the world support our belief that implementing these prevention and management principles is associated with a decrease in the frequency of diabetes‑related lower‑extremity amputations. The burden of foot disease and amputations is increasing at a rapid rate, and comparatively more so in middle to lower income countries. These guidelines also assist in defining standards of prevention and care in the these countries. Authors hope that these updated practical guidelines continue to serve as a reference document to aid healthcare providers in reducing the global burden of diabetes‑related foot disease.

The process of dangerous event management taking into account economic, environmental and occupational losses

Aim of the research is in risk management process development of a dangerous event taking into account economic, environmental and professional losses.Materials and methods. To develop the process of risks management from various dangers through the integration of their losses (economic, environmental, life and health of employees), we take the most common model "bow tie", which allows to establish a cause and effect relationship between danger – a dangerous event and the severity of the consequences.Results. As a result of the research, it was found that each hazard must be considered based on three different types of damage. This makes it possible to implement another mechanism for identifying the most significant dangerous factors that lead to significant general economic losses. In the case of risk acceptability from each individual dangerous factor, there is an additional opportunity to analyze them based on the relationship between financial activity, economic and professional losses. The second consists in determining the limits of the acceptability of risks, which are formed not only based on the total acceptable economic losses, but also taking into account the stability of the enterprise's work. This implies the need to actively invest in new technologies based on short-term and long-term perspectives. The main types of dangers are defined in the risk register, which is developed by the organization to determine the integration of dangers consisting of natural, technogenic, environmental, occupational and economic groups of dangers and dangerous factors. The authors develop the model and algorithm of risk management based on the combination of different consequences of dangers in economic, environmental character, life loss and health.Scientific relevance. The article determines the relationship between the probability of a dangerous event and the severity of different types of consequences – economic, environmental and occupational dangers through the analysis of Euler-Venn diagrams.Practical relevance. The authors develop the basic principles of risk management of different types of losses: economic, environmental ones, loss of life and health of employees.

The Level of Knowledge and Attitude Toward Dealing With Fractures at Accident Sites Among Al Baha Population.

A fractured bone is a medical emergency that causes bone continuity to be partially or completely disrupted. Effective fracture management at accident sites is crucial for minimizing complications and improving outcomes. Despite its importance, this study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and attitude toward fracture management among residents of Al Baha province and explore the association of this knowledge with demographic factors. A cross-sectional descriptive study involving 389 participants was carried out employing a structured online self-administered questionnaire that contained sociodemographic information about the participants along with a basic knowledge assessment regarding fractures at accident sites. To investigate relationships between variables, statistical analysis was used, including the Chi-square test. This investigation revealed a majority of participants demonstrated moderate to high levels of knowledge about fracture management, with 166 (42.7%) classified as having high knowledge and 187 (48.1%) as having moderate knowledge. Meanwhile, four (1%) were found to have poor levels. Significant associations were found between knowledge levels and gender (p = 0.048), residency (p = 0.014), and marital status (p = 0.011). Males, residents of Al Baha, and married individuals showed the highest levels of knowledge. However, gaps were identified in responses related to open fractures and spine injuries. In conclusion, a study of 389 participants highlights a generally high level of knowledge about fracture management among Al Baha residents, with notable differences linked to demographic factors. While the findings suggest a solid understanding of basic fracture management principles, there are specific areas where knowledge could be improved. Targeted educational interventions, especially those addressing identified knowledge gaps and tailored to different demographic groups, are recommended to enhance public preparedness and response to fractures.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS AND ESSENTIAL DEFINITIONS OF REGIONAL ECONOMY STATE REGULATION IN MACROECONOMIC INSTABILITY CONTEXT

Objective. The objective of the article is to analyze and systematize the theoretical aspects and essential definitions of state regulation of the economy of regions in the context of macroeconomic instability, as well as to determine the basic principles of effective management of regional policy in the context of macroeconomic instability. Methods. The following methods are applied to conduct the research: the analysis method (to study the theoretical aspects and determine the essential definitions of the state regulation of the economy of the regions), the induction method (to highlight the areas of application of methodological approaches to the assessment of the effective management of regional policy in conditions of macroeconomic instability and to define key concepts which are based on scientific approaches to the state regulation of the economy of regions in conditions of macroeconomic instability) and a graphic method (for building a refined scheme of the components of macroeconomic instability of regions and expanding the directions for overcoming them). Results. Macroeconomic instability is characterized by significant fluctuations in key macroeconomic indicators which may be caused by internal and external economic, political, and social factors. Macroeconomic instability affects regional development due to reduced investment, reduced budget revenues, increased unemployment and social tension. In order to achieve socio-economic stability and successful development of the region, state regulation should ensure successful overcoming of macroeconomic instability by forecasting crisis phenomena, preventing them and creating reserves in advance to eliminate their consequences. The key factor is the definition and consideration of all components of macroeconomic instability. The proposed sixth component of regional macroeconomic instability - military instability - requires the development of comprehensive security strategies, including strengthening the country's defense capabilities, providing social and economic support for affected regions as well as active international cooperation for post-war reconstruction, maintaining peace and stability. It is also important to deal with issues of reintegration of the affected territories and population, restoration of infrastructure and economic activity in conflict zones.

Relevance of classical management concepts in the contemporary era – a case study of Fayol’s principles

Purpose This hypothetical case study aims to revisit the classical model given by Henri Fayol whereby he put forward a set of 14 principles to guide managers in decision-making across organizations. The case study showcases the dilemma in which the top manager of an automobile company finds himself when some of the very basic principles – on which the whole discipline of management is founded – are ignored. It will also serve as an aid for faculty members in B-Schools to teach students the significance of basic management principles postulated many years back which stand relevant even in contemporary times.Design/methodology/approach This case study is based on a hypothetical scenario in the corporate world. Different incidents in a fictitious automobile manufacturing firm are presented and the corresponding principles given by Henri Fayol are inferred.FindingsThis case study highlights that decision-making gets complicated if fundamental principles of management are not complied with. The decision taken during each and every situation which has been discussed in this case study is contrary to the correct course of action as propounded by Fayol. Modern-day managers must acknowledge the relevance and importance of these principles for achieving success in business.Originality/value This case study underscores that even in this volatile business environment where most of the management practices are technology-driven, we cannot disregard the most elementary rules of management. The managers working at different levels in the organizational hierarchy may be guided to make the right decisions in situations similar to the ones described.

Big bang, low bar-risk assessment in the public arena.

One of the basic principles of risk management is that we should always keep an eye on ways that things could go badly wrong, even if they seem unlikely. The more disastrous a potential failure, the more improbable it needs to be, before we can safely ignore it. This principle may seem obvious, but it is easily overlooked in public discourse about risk, even by well-qualified commentators who should certainly know better. The present piece is prompted by neglect of the principle in recent discussions about the potential existential risks of artificial intelligence. The failing is not peculiar to this case, but recent debates in this area provide some particularly stark examples of how easily the principle can be overlooked.
