Abstract
The study intended to explore the point of view of teachers of students with intellectual disabilities (ID) regarding the reality and extent of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools in their teaching performance in the central region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The participants were 54 special education teachers of students with ID who completed an online survey. Results showed that teachers agreed on the notion that AI tools can reduce the loss of instructional time. However, some teachers had low confidence in their ability to use AI tools. Moreover, the results demonstrated that no statistically important distinctions were noted in teachers’ performance utilizing AI tools based on gender or most grade levels taught. However, significant differences emerged based on training status, with teachers who received AI training demonstrating higher teaching performance than those without training. Also, the results revealed that there were significant differences between teachers with bachelor’s degrees and those with doctoral degrees. Additionally, a strong and positive correlation was identified between teachers’ utilization of AI tools and their teaching performance.

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.
