Abstract

This paper review explores the use of ink sketches to depict buildings and natural landscapes. Ink, valued for its versatility and emotional expression is ideal, for capturing the essence of a location by not portraying its features but also the rich tapestry of human experiences within both man made and natural environments. Artists, architects, and designers leverage ink to represent and delve into landscapes in ways; this study delves into this creative process. Through an analysis of techniques, styles, and conceptual frameworks in ink drawings this research aims to illuminate how the lines drawn connect with the reality they portray. Drawing from insights from studies and real-world examples as supporting evidence it also seeks to underscore the importance of ink illustrations as tools for detailing and expressing creativity thereby nurturing an appreciation for how drawing, landscape design and architecture intersect, in creative pursuits.

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.
