Abstract

It is within this context of continuous recontextualization of traditional sculpture that this review paper unfolds by examining the interaction of Chinese ancient sculpture with present-day AI technologies. The art of sculpture in China has changed and has been rooted in a long history of producing sculpture recreations for over thousands of years, with the Tang dynasty tending toward naturalism and the spiritual element in the piece, especially in Buddhist influence. Although old forms nowadays can be considered innovative in terms of contemporary art, AI appeared to be the enabling means in recent years. In the given paper, the author analyzes case examples of the performance of AI algorithms in making AI digital reproductions of iconic artworks, interpreting new representations of the classical Buddhist figures, and developing new means for audience engagement through IoT technology. Examining such connections, the paper responds to essential concerns regarding authorship, creativity, and the position of the artist in the modern world. At last, this study discovers that this extension of Chinese sculpture through AI is an homage to its past while at the same time transforming it into present and future discourse, creating a subversion of the uncanny. Self-Planning As artists progress in using AI, the blend of traditional and conventional art with new technology revives and changes the perspective of Chinese sculpture’s future, more connected to their roots.

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.
