Article Abstract
Background: The tongue is an essential organ for the development of certain crucial functions, such as swallowing and language. The examination of the tongue can be very useful in neurology, as the various types of lingual alterations can lead to certain specific diagnoses, the tongue being a kind of "mirror" of some neurological function.
Review Summary: In this study, we reviewed the literature on anatomy, physiology, and the various aspects of the examination of the tongue.
Conclusions: Examination of the tongue should be an integral part of the clinical examination of the cranial nerves. This study aimed to demonstrate the importance of tongue motor and non-motor functions in neurological practice.

Over 1200 heavy feedlot cattle presented with severe tongue lesions during a 7-month interval. Review of the literature and discussions with colleagues revealed previous similar outbreaks had occurred in Canada and the USA, with extensive investigations conducted and no cause identified. In the current outbreak, examination of the environment, feed, water, cattle behavior, and husbandry systems were conducted, as well as diagnostic testing including necropsy, histopathology, bacteriology, virology, and toxicology.

Background: Although oral diseases and frailty can be met earlier in life, there is limited information on their association across the lifespan.
Objectives: To scope for the association of oral factors with physical frailty in Greek community-dwelling adults.
Methods: Participants were over 18 years of age with ≥ 20 natural teeth, ≥ 10 occlusal contacts, and no removable dentures.

Background: Alternobaric facial palsy (AFP) is a rare peripheral facial nerve palsy resulting from transient neurapraxia when sudden ambient-pressure changes disrupt middle-ear equilibrium. Common precipitants include scuba diving, air travel, and altitude. AFP triggered by routine activities is exceedingly uncommon.

Introduction: The utility of bedside screening tests for the prediction of difficult airways is limited. There is growing interest in the role of point-of-care-ultrasound in airway assessment and management. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic utility and clinical application of various upper airway point-of-care-ultrasound parameters in the prediction of difficult airways.
