Editorial: Highlights in performance science: music performance anxiety

Musical performance activities are the culmination of arduous work and dedication. Musical interpretation is, at its core, an act of openness and vulnerability, which makes stage anxiety a relevant issue in the musical community. Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, manifesting in different ways and affecting musicians to varying degrees, across all educational levels and musical genres (Yoshie et al., 2009; Casanova et al., 2018; Habe et al., 2019; Guyon et al., 2020). The Research Topic “Highlights in performance science: music performance anxiety” showcases a selection of articles about MPA, authored by leaders in the field. The work presented here highlights the broad diversity of research performed across the Performance Science field and put a spotlight on the main areas of interest. The Research Topic includes 14 original articles written by 41 authors from 11 countries. The articles cover many of the most relevant areas of MPA research, including its conceptualization, phenomenology, assessment, and etiology, as well as individual differences in MPA, ways of managing and coping with MPA, and the consequences of MPA. Three of the 14 contributions are review articles

Encapsulated Papillary Thyroid Tumor with Delicate Nuclear Changes and a Mutation as a Possible Novel Subtype of Borderline Tumor

Although papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)–type nuclear changes are the most reliable morphological feature in the diagnosis of PTC, the nuclear assessment used to identify these changes is highly subjective. Here, we report a noninvasive encapsulated thyroid tumor with a papillary growth pattern measuring 23 mm at its largest diameter with a nuclear score of 2 in a 26-year-old man. After undergoing left lobectomy, the patient was diagnosed with an encapsulated PTC. However, a second opinion consultation suggested an alternative diagnosis of follicular adenoma with papillary hyperplasia. When providing a third opinion, we identified a low MIB-1 labeling index and a heterozygous point mutation in the KRAS gene but not the BRAF gene. We speculated that this case is an example of a novel borderline tumor with a papillary structure. Introduction of the new terminology “noninvasive encapsulated papillary RAS-like thyroid tumor (NEPRAS)” without the word “cancer” might relieve the psychological burden of patients in a way similar to the phrase “noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP).

本研究は、糖尿病患者の事例を用いて、role-play法による教育指導演習後の学びを調査し、学習効果を考察することを目的とした。対象はT短期大学看護学科3年生72名とした。その結果、演習後の学生の学びは、「対象者が理解できる説明」、「行動変容に向けた教育指導の展開」、「看護師自身の準備と態度」、「対象理解の重要性」の4つのカテゴリーに分類され、「支援」、「具体性」、「準備」、「態度」の要因から構成されていた。学生間のrole-play法を用いた患者教育演習での学習効果は、対象者の理解状況を把握しようとする態度で行動変容に向けて支援する具体策を用いて指導していくこと、患者教育指導内容を準備して指導することであった。This study utilizes the case study of diabetic patients to examine learning from the demonstration of educational instruction through the role-play method and to evaluate its pedagogical effects. The subjects of this study are 72 sophomore nursing students at T junior college. As a result of research, post-demonstration learning among the students was broken into four categories of "explanation comprehensible to the learning subject", "development of teaching instruction directed toward behavioral change", "preparedness and attitude of nurses themselves", and "importance of understanding the learning subject", and it was structured from factors of support, concreteness, preparedness, and attitude. The learning effects for students who used the role-play method during demonstration of patients\u27 education was to guide the learning subjects with an attitude that assess their patients\u27 understanding level and to do this with concrete strategies that supported behavioral change while preparing and guiding the content of patients\u27 education
