RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Discussions and investigations are being conducted in regard to the question of how, instead of acquiring specific kinds of expertise at university, students can instead be taught "generic skills," which are the competencies for engaging in the everyday life of a working adult. OBJECTIVES: This survey was aimed at assessing the impact of clinical practical training on generic skills from the perspective of student's own perceptions of personal growth. And we compared different three nursing colleges of the practical training methods to investigate the associations between generic skills and practical training methods. DESIGN: A text mining analysis study. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted with the participation of Japanese third-year students who had completed clinical practical training at three nursing colleges. Study period was December 2016 to February 2017. There were 242 participants in total, and valid responses were obtained from 216 participants. METHODS: We distributed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. Data collected from open-ended responses was subjected to analysis using text mining methods. RESULTS: A total of 2,903 words were extracted as the result of analyzing text data for a total of 568 sentences. From the patterns in which the extracted words appeared, we were able to classify details reported by students about the areas where they recognized personal growth into nine categories. We found "teacher," "now," and "clinical instructor" among the characteristic words for School A, as well as "learn," "records," and "planning." The terms extracted for School B included "acquired," "communication," and "consideration." Terms extracted for School C included "perform," "human," and "action + can." CONCLUSION: Students perceive more growth in terms of generic skill competencies than in terms of expert knowledge or techniques. Project-based learning is associated with students' "ability to discover problems," while experience-based practical training is associated with students' "ability to sustain action."
RESUMEN
The purpose of this research is to obtain morphological information about the traveling route, branching pattern, and distribution within the tongue of the lingual nerve, all of which are important for oral surgical procedures. Using 20 sides from 10 Japanese cadaveric heads, we followed the lingual nerve from its merging point with the chorda tympani to its peripheral terminal in the tongue. We focused on the collateral branches in the area before reaching the tongue and the communication between the lingual and hypoglossal nerves reaching the tongue. The collateral branches of the lingual nerve were distributed in the oral mucosa between the palatoglossal arch and the mandibular molar region. Two to eight collateral branches arose from the main trunk of the nerve, and the configuration of branching was classified into three types. More distally, the lingual nerve started to communicate with the hypoglossal nerve before passing the anterior border of the hyoglossus muscle. Nerve communications were also found in the main body and near the apex of the tongue. A thorough understanding of the collateral branches near the tongue, and the communication with the hypoglossal nerve inside the tongue, will help to prevent functional disorders from local anesthesia and oral surgical procedures associated with the lingual nerve.

The sinuatrial nodal branch (SANB) of the coronary artery is anatomically important as it irrigates the sinuatrial node. Past studies on the origin and route of the SANB in the human heart have produced discrepant findings. Therefore, in this study, we macroscopically investigated the origin, route, and distribution of the SANB in 293 human hearts. In addition, we examined the relationship between coronary artery dominance and the origin of the SANB. The SANB was found to have one branch in 267 specimens (91.2%), two branches in 25 specimens (8.5%), and three branches in one (0.3%) specimen. The SANB originated from the right coronary artery in 184 branches (57.5%) and from the left coronary artery (circumflex artery) in 136 branches (42.5%). Nine SANB routes were classified, all of which were distributed in the interatrial septum except for one heart with a type R3 SANB course, which was found to extend through the muscle layer of the interatrial septum into the septum. The composition of these courses could relate to the generation of the proepicardium in the amniote.
