Abstract

Background: This research investigates the intricate relationship between vocal technique and MPA, aiming to distinguish how the mastery and application of specific vocal techniques may mitigate or exacerbate performance anxiety in vocalists. Method: The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments and qualitative analyses to explore the experiences of vocalists in diverse performance settings. Results: The findings suggest that several treatment plans can achieve reduced levels of MPA. By identifying specific vocal mechanisms and exercises associated with anxiety alleviation, this research seeks to provide practical strategies for vocalists, educators, and performance coaches to address MPA systematically. Conclusion: This study bridges the gap between vocal pedagogy and psychological well-being within the context of musical performance. The research provides invaluable insights regarding MPA for performers, educators, and researchers alike, fostering a holistic understanding of the factors shaping the emotional landscape of vocal performance.

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.
