Abstract
This text is based on a critical and reflective scenario regarding the incursion of generative artificial intelligence into educational research processes, seeking to reveal and question the contributions and challenges that are projected in investigative practice and in the processes of publication and evaluation of scientific production. For this, a qualitative approach is addressed that contributes to the reflection and holistic understanding of the phenomenon in the study. The results obtained allude to the need to assume a critical stance towards the ethical and rigorous use of this technological power in investigative activities; However, specific contributions are recognized in the tasks of any researcher, such as the construction of states of art, the review of theoretical frameworks, bibliometric analyses, the exploration of different fields of study, among others, which require a critical look from the researcher to avoid excessive dependence on this technology, and, on the contrary, favor it critical thinking, autonomy and the capacity to build knowledge.

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.
