Abstract

The increasing use of artificial intelligence–based digital platforms in public administration has transformed access to public information, improving efficiency, automation, and decision-making processes. However, this transformation has also raised significant legal challenges related to informed consent and personal data protection. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of using artificial intelligence systems in digital platforms for accessing public information, with particular emphasis on the principles of informed consent, transparency, and data protection. A qualitative–analytical methodology was adopted, based on a systematic review of recent legal frameworks, international regulations, and scholarly literature published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that current legal systems face substantial gaps in regulating algorithmic decision-making, user consent mechanisms, and the protection of sensitive data processed by artificial intelligence systems. The study highlights the need to strengthen regulatory frameworks, ensure algorithmic transparency, and promote ethical governance models that safeguard fundamental rights in digital public information systems. These results contribute to the legal and academic debate on digital governance and artificial intelligence in the public sector.

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.
