This paradigm has been progressively undermined and, as of today, has been largely repudiated even within those intellectual circles that once fervently upheld it. This situation can be traced back to the intellectual legacy of the 17th century, marked by the emergence of novel scientific methodologies and philosophical frameworks introduced by luminaries such as Descartes, Galileo, and Newton. However, it is essential to recognize that no philosophical or scientific perspective can be regarded as definitive, as our comprehension of philosophy undergoes significant radical shifts and fluctuations. As knowledge progresses and new avenues of inquiry are explored, alternative perspectives, likely more robust, become conceivable. The Modern theory of relativity in physics supports Iqbal's standpoint by depicting matter not as a static substance, nor reality as an unchanging entity-views commonly associated with Classical materialism and classical Greek philosophy-but rather as a system of interrelated events, characterized by a dynamic void and continuous creative evolution. Time is characterized as subjective and objective, as well as sequential in nature, and is not an absolute. However, Iqbal enriches this interpretation by introducing the notion of 'duration' in conjunction with linear time, positing that 'reality deep in its inner being lies, perhaps the dream of a new birth' and 'Time represents a free creative movement, and reality possesses a spiritual essence'. So this distinctive viewpoint challenges the constraints of Western philosophical thought and presents a novel framework for understanding the concepts of time and reality.

Methods: In this descriptive study patients with diabetic foot were enrolled. In-group A dressings was done with hydrocolloid while in-group B dressing was done with povidone –iodine. Wounds were assessed for depth ischemia classification. Vasculopathy, neuropathy and osteomyelitis were assessed. Parenteral antibiotics based on culture sensitivity were given. Insulin was used according to sliding scale. Split Thickness skin grafting was performed for all wounds > 5 cm if the wounds were found to be clean .Wounds < 5 cm in diameter were allowed to epithelize and heal without Split thickness skin graft. The total healing period was measured by the number of days from the date of initial debridement to the date of the Split thickness skin grafting or complete epithelization. Results: Mean number of days of healing...
