Abstract

The article discusses the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into the art and design field. The author emphasizes that AI has experienced significant growth and has been implemented in numerous disciplines, including art and design, with tools and applications for graphic design, product design, packaging design, etc. However, the integration of AI into the field of art and design raises fundamental concerns, such as the nature of art and design creation, the materials employed in the creation process, and the role of automaticity and subjective consciousness in art and design creation. The article emphasizes the need for designers and artists to consider potential problems that may arise with the incorporation of AI, such as intellectual property rights issues.

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.
