Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new form of information application based on the Internet. It endows information to the "things" of substantial being through the form of electronic tags, aiming at realize the global sharing of the information of things.The IoT technology starts with the identification of "things",in the classical understanding of category theory that "things" belong to different categories; there are clear boundaries between categories; all the "things" in the category are the "things" as substantial being.With the appearance of prototype category theory, many questions have been raised about classical understanding,especially in the question of whether categories have definite boundaries.The current IoT technology is still based on the category theory that "things" as substantial being,which will inevitably bring a series of challenges to the development of the IoT at the operational level.

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.
