Article Synopsis
- Ankyloglossia is a condition where a tight frenulum restricts tongue movement, potentially affecting breastfeeding.
- The effectiveness of releasing the frenulum in newborns to improve breastfeeding remains uncertain.
- Collaboration among healthcare professionals is essential, as ankyloglossia shares symptoms with other breastfeeding challenges.

Article Abstract
Ankyloglossia refers to a congenitally tight lingual frenulum that limits the motion of the tongue. Whether the release of a tight lingual frenulum in neonates improves breastfeeding is not clear. Because many of the symptoms of ankyloglossia overlap those of other breastfeeding difficulties, a team partnership is necessary.

Congenital facial weakness (CFW) disorders are a heterogeneous group of rare conditions, that present at birth, with reduced facial movement, and mask-like facies. This study utilized a multimodality approach to examine the craniofacial and intraoral phenotypes among CFW disorders: Moebius syndrome (MBS), Hereditary Congenital Facial Palsy (HCFP), β-tubulin isotype 3 syndrome (CFEOM3A-TUBB3), Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome (CFZS), and a group of rarer disorders (Other).Prospective cohort study.

Ankyloglossia is a congenital, abnormally short, thickened, or tight lingual frenulum that restricts tongue mobility, which may impair the development of the lower face morphology, namely the occlusion and skeleton. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether and how the lingual frenotomy benefits the occlusion and lower face skeleton development. The authors, independently and in duplication, performed searches of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, Web of Science, and Embase, introducing the following keywords: tongue tie, ankyloglossia, and short lingual frenum/frenulum, combined with malocclusion, lower face skeleton, and hyoid bone.

Article Synopsis
- Crocodylians have a specialized gular valve that forms a water-tight seal in their mouths, allowing them to dive while keeping their mouths open.
- This study reveals that the gular valve consists of an integrated dorsal component (the dorsal gular fold) and a mobile ventral part (the tongue and hyolingual apparatus), connected by a newly identified structure called the velar chord.
- The findings suggest that the tension in the velar chord changes the shape of the dorsal gular fold, affecting various behaviors like swallowing and vocalization beyond just diving.

The gustatory system allows animals to assess the nutritive value and safety of foods prior to ingestion. The first step in gustation is the interaction of taste stimuli with one or more specific sensory receptors that are generally believed to be present on the apical surface of the taste receptor cells. However, this assertion is rarely tested.

Grass carp () is a Cyprinid fish of aquacultural and research importance. The buccal cavity represents the gateway of the digestive tract. The present study investigated the adaptational changes involving various components of the buccal cavity of fingerling (three months posthatching, mph), yearling (12 mph), and adult (48 mph) using scanning electron microscopy, histology, and morphometry.
