Incidence, mortality, and survival are the primary measures for assessing the impact of cancer in population groups. Incidence is the frequency of new cancer cases during a defined period of time, generally expressed as the rate per 100,000 persons per year; the mortality rate is the frequency of cancer deaths per 100,000 persons per year. The observed survival rate is the proportion of persons with cancer who survive for a specified period of time after diagnosis, usually 5 years. This statistic is often presented as a relative survival rate, in which survival from cancer is corrected for the likelihood of dying from other causes.

Introduction: Oral cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, accounting for 30-40% of the head and neck cancer. It is fairly common and very curable if found and treated at an early stage.
Definition: Oral cancer is also known as mouth cancer, is cancer of the lining of the lips, mouth or upper throat. It belongs to a large group of cancers called head and neck cancers.
Classification: The TNM classification stages different types of cancer based on certain standard criteria:
T describes the size of the primary tumor
N describe the lymph nodes
M describes whether the cancer has metastasized.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Normal Labour/ Stages of Labour/ Mechanism of LabourWasim Ak
Normal labor is also termed spontaneous labor, defined as the natural physiological process through which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus through the birth canal at term (37 to 42 weeks
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

12. ORAL AND UPPER AERO-DIGESTIVE TRACT MALIGNANCY:
A REVIEW OF A FIVE-YEAR EXPERIENCE
Aziza Al-Mobeerik, MD, BDS, MSc
14. • Of genetic origin
• Related to environment
• Correlation between late birth order and
presence of clefts
• Occurrence associated with:
• first trimester: spontaneous abortion, flu
and fever, maternal drugs.
• Second trimester: spontaneous abortion.
15. •
•
•
•
More facial cleft in boys
More isolated cleft palate in girls
More clefts in plural births
Clefts are associated with: low birth
weight, higher mortality rate, prematurity
and malformations.
16. Malocclusion
• Prevalence
• Case definition: difficult due to
– Different cultural perceptions
– Different perceptions of malocclusion among
orthodontists
– Examiner inconsistency
• Treatment needs

Khalid M. Al-Balkhi, BDS, MS*, Ahmed A. Zahrani, BDS, MSc, DFM**
• The prevalence of many orthodontic-related variables
was investigated and analyzed in the largest orthodontic
clinic in Saudi Arabia. The results of the study indicate
that the majority of the orthodontic cases were young
patients with females showing a marginally higher
percentage than males.
• ClassI molar relationship, permanent dentition, ovoid
arch form, crowding, asymmetrical tooth extraction and
asymmetrical arch were found most frequently. A very
strong correlation was found between asymmetrical
tooth extraction and the existence of dental arch
asymmetry. Crossbite, crowding and class III molar
relationship may be the principal reasons for patients to
seek orthodontic treatment.

21. TMJ disorders
• Case definition:
– no suitable case definition
– Group of extremely painful and distressing
conditions
– Diagnosis is difficult because it often accompanied
by generalized pain in the H&N
• Statistics:
– Women with TMD are three times the men.
– Common in children and adolescence as in adults
22. • Epidemiological studies:
Commonly measured signs and symptoms are:
– Pain with joint movement
– Limited mandible movement
– Deviation of mandible on movement
– Joint clicking or crepitus
• Treatment of TMJ disorders:
– no agreement on a standard treatment and outcomes
23. • Ortho treatment, attrition, premature
contact has no influence on TMD
• TMD is related to: depression, emotional
distress, lower SES, poorer health.
• Current and future approaches to treat
and manage cases:
– Multidisciplinary effort is required for its better
comprehension
Editor's Notes
Life and death matter
Age adjusted oral cancer mortality rate among men has decreased.
Female rates are low, but showed slight further reduction
Oral cancer: lip, tongue, buccal mucosa, floor of mouth, salivary glands, and pharynx.
But not throat cancer.
Squamus cell carcinoma of the tongue, mucosa, lip: 80% of oral cancers
Bet. 88~04: No. of new oral cancers dropped
Mortality also dropped, in absolute no anf and in proportionate
Oral caner is related to older age
Mortality is related to low SES
The standard measure for the severity is the 5-y-survival rate: % of people still alive after 5 y after diagnosis
5SR is decreased with increased consumptions of the alcohol and social deprivation
Survival in higher if diagnosis made when cancer is confined, nor spread
%SR is 4 times when tumors diagnosed at earlier stages, before metastasis.
Tobacco use, heavy alcohol and poor diet is responsible for 90% of all cancers.
Risk for oral cancer from tobacco is equal for men and women.
Risk decrease after quitting
Risk is more for pharyngeal cancer and less for lip cancer
Etio for submucus fibrosis: betel
SMF and nodular luekoplakia has a hi transformation rate
Genetic role in oral caner is strong
Other risk factors:
Ill fitting dentures
Long-term sun exposure
Chronic inflammations: lichen planus
leukoplakia
Survival rate of oral cancer is low:
Delay by patients seeking attention
Delay in diagnosis by professionals
Leukoplakia, erythroplakia are precancerous
Hi rate of second primary cancers in patients of oral cancer
Papillary hyperplasia is related to ill fitting dentures
Little is known (distribution, prevelence, risk factors) about the pemphigus, pemphigoid, lichen planus, candidacies and herpes infections.
