Abstract

This paper explores the complex relationship between AI and individual artistic freedom in the context of rapid AI advancements. AI's ability to mimic existing art styles and create original works challenges traditional notions of creativity and the artist's role. While AI enhances creative efficiency, it raises significant questions about individual freedom and meaning in art creation. Using an existentialist perspective, this paper examines how creators can maintain and pursue individual meaning in a technology-driven environment. Existentialism emphasizes that individuals define their existence and meaning through free choice and action in an inherently meaningless world. This study argues that, despite the conveniences AI offers, artists need to balance technology with human experience to ensure their works genuinely reflect personal experiences and emotions. By applying existentialist concepts, this research analyzes AI's impact on artistic freedom and individual meaning, offering new insights for artists and scholars to better understand and address these challenges in a technologically advanced era. Ultimately, this paper advocates for a symbiotic relationship where AI serves as a tool to enhance, rather than overshadow, the artist's unique creative expression and pursuit of individual meaning.

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.
