Article Abstract
To identify the prevalence of geographic tongue in patients >18 years. A systematic literature review was performed in search of population-based observational studies. Searches were performed using five main databases: Embase, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science; and three gray literature sources: Google Scholar, ProQuest, and OpenGrey. In addition, a manual search in the reference list and consultation with experts on the topic studied were performed. Methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute's checklist for prevalence studies. Ratio meta-analyses were performed using JAMOVI. Initially, 3046 studies were identified. After a two-phase selection, 11 studies were included for quantitative synthesis. Two studies were classified as of low methodological quality, five studies as of moderate quality, and four as of high quality. Two types of prevalence were analyzed: by period and point. Three studies were included in the period prevalence meta-analysis, and the prevalence was 3% (Confidence interval [CI]: 0.4%-5.5%, n = 9813). Eight studies were included in the point-prevalence meta-analysis, and the prevalence was 3% (CI: -0.2% to 5.5%, n = 10,967). Although there are phases of exacerbation and remission in geographic tongue, prevalence and period prevalence were similar. Approximately one in 30 adults has a geographic tongue.

Introduction: Cutaneous manifestations in adult-onset immunodeficiency (AOID) resulting from anti-interferon-gamma autoantibody (AIGA) are prevalent and can be classified into infective and reactive disorders. To date, no clinical studies have specifically examined pustular reaction in patients with AOID. This study aimed to provide an original characterization of the clinical manifestations associated with pustular reaction in AOID and to compare these features with those observed in a clinically similar entity, generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP).

Background: The post-coronavirus disease (post-COVID) syndrome (PCS), which occurs after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection, can manifest a variety of symptoms in the oral cavity. Changes to the tongue tend to persist longer than other symptoms in this area.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to present the changes and lesions that occur on the tongue after SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as their healing as a consequence of the therapy used or lack thereof.

Sweet tea, the leaves of Lithocarpus litseifolius (Hance) Chun, received widespread attention for its edible and healthy values. This study employed non-targeted (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS) and quantitative (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) analyses to investigate the influence of harvest timing and geographic origin on its metabolite profile, flavor, and bioactivity. Among 505 identified metabolites, flavonoids and dihydrochalcones exhibited significant variation across developmental stages and regions.

Objective: The study investigated the distribution, types, and geographic distribution of oral tumors in cats in Switzerland, providing insights into demographics, tumor features, and emerging trends.
Methods: We analyzed pathology records of oral tumors in cats diagnosed between 2012 and 2022 from diagnostic laboratories in Switzerland. Only histologically confirmed neoplasms were included; inflammatory and cystic lesions were excluded.
