This document provides information on oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), including its definition, history, pathogenesis, clinical features, and staging classifications. OSMF is a chronic disease affecting the oral cavity and sometimes pharynx, characterized by juxtaepithelial inflammatory reaction and fibrosis of the lamina propria. Chewing betel quid and areca nut releases alkaloids and tannins that cause irritation and inflammation, activating fibroblasts and increasing production and cross-linking of collagen over time, resulting in stiffness and inability to open the mouth. OSMF is considered a precancerous condition due to its association with oral cancer. Staging systems describe progression from initial symptoms to trismus and possible malignancy
Periodontal therapy involves the diagnosis and treatment of plaque-associated diseases as well as non-plaque related conditions like desquamative gingivitis. Desquamative gingivitis presents as erythema, desquamation, and ulceration of the gingiva and can be caused by conditions like lichen planus, pemphigoid, and pemphigus vulgaris. The pathogenesis involves autoimmune responses against epithelial antigens that disrupt cellular junctions and cause separation of the epithelium from the underlying connective tissue. Management consists of treating the underlying cause, improving oral hygiene, and using topical or systemic corticosteroids.
This document describes a case report of a solitary angiokeratoma lesion found on the tongue of a 38-year-old male patient. Solitary angiokeratomas of the oral mucosa are rare. The lesion was a well-circumscribed, dark brown growth on the dorsal surface of the tongue. Histopathological examination revealed numerous dilated blood vessels in the papillary dermis along with hyperkeratosis and acanthosis of the epithelium, consistent with angiokeratoma. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD34, confirming the lesion contained proliferating blood vessels. No other lesions were found on the patient's body. The lesion was completely excised with no recurrence after 6 months of follow up.

This document summarizes a presentation on a retrospective study comparing surgical treatment modalities for 100 patients with oral submucous fibrosis. The study compared outcomes of excising fibrous bands and using different grafting techniques, including buccal fat pad graft (group I), tongue flap (group II), nasolabial fold flap (group III), and split skin graft (group IV). The results found that buccal fat pad grafting had the highest mean mouth opening at 1 week post-op, highest post-op pain/function scores at 1 month, and offered ease of surgery and low morbidity. Tongue flap had the lowest post-op mouth opening and caused discomfort due to difficulty with tongue movement.
MSX1 Polymorphism in an Eastern Nepalese Non Syndromic cleft lip/palate patie...Ashok Ayer
This study was carried out to evaluate the role of MSX1 799 G >T gene polymorphism with non Syndromic cleft lip/palate in Eastern Nepalese patient population. For the study, whole blood samples (2 ml) were obtained from 40 subjects and controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood of the subjects by using ethanol, chloroform treatment. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to check for the presence of polymorphism. The results indicated that a patient has MSX1 799 G>T variant. The
patient was a male aged 24 years was a complete unilateral left sided cleft lip/palate involving alveolus, hard and soft palate. He had normal development and no associated anomaly. There was no family history of cleft lip/palate and no history of any teratogenic exposure during embryonic life as revealed by his mother. This may be a case of sporadic polymorphism. It may be concluded that ,although we detected the presence of a MSX1 799 G>T polymorphism in one patient, a further investigation with large sample size, including many SNP’s on families must be performed to get conclusive results.

Prevalence and Determinants of Distress Among Residents During COVID Crisisclinicsoncology
This study assessed the prevalence of distress, burnout, and depression among residents in France during the COVID-19 pandemic. 34 residents completed an online survey assessing sociodemographic factors, workload, work environment, impact of the pandemic, and mental wellbeing. Over 20% of residents reported high distress, 56% reported moderate to severe burnout, and 27% reported moderate to severe depressive symptoms. Being single and having a high workload increased the risk of distress and burnout. While COVID-19 did not affect prevalence, it increased stress intensity. Residents were concerned about impacts on training and careers. Higher wellbeing was associated with poorer quality of life, more regrets, and lower satisfaction. The pandemic disrupted training and increased
A Road from Coronary to Pulmonary: A Rare Imaging Presentationclinicsoncology
This case report describes a rare presentation in a 21-year-old female patient with pentalogy of Fallot. Cardiac CT imaging revealed multiple sources of blood flow to the lungs, including a dilated coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery collateral from the left main coronary artery to the right pulmonary artery, as well as a patent ductus arteriosus connecting the aorta to the left pulmonary artery. Additionally, there were several major aortopulmonary collateral arteries arising from the descending aorta. This represents an extremely rare finding, as coronary-to-pulmonary connections are unusual. Identifying all sources of pulmonary blood flow is important for surgical planning in patients with conditions like pentalogy of Fallot and

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

1. Abstract
1.1. Case Report: We describe a case report of 20 years old female with pigmentation over the
dorsum of the tongue since childhood. Examination of the oral cavity showed pigmentation of fungi
form papilla on lateral and dorsal aspect of tongue.
1.2. Discussion: Fungi form papilla is a benign pigmentary condition of the tongue present on the
tip, lateral aspect and dorsum of the tongue. It is a benign condition in which usually no treatment
is required.
1.3. Conclusion: It is important to know about this condition to avoid unnecessary investigations.
It is rare and hence reported.
3. Introduction
Pigmented Fungi form Papilla of Tongue (PFPT) is a pigmented
condition of the tongue [1, 2]. Very few textbooks of dermatology
have described this condition. It is seen in Indians and some Asian
races (especially Japanese), but is extremely rare in white popula-
tion. There is no specific treatment of this condition and reassur-
ance and counselling is the only option.
4. Case Report
We describe a case report of 20 years old female with pigmen-
tation over the fungi form papillae on the dorsum of the tongue
since childhood. According to the girl's mother, the condition was
not present at birth and developed at 12 years of age. The systemic
examination of the girl was normal. There was no abnormality de-
tected on cutaneous examination. Examination of the oral cavity
showed pigmentation of fungi form papilla on dorsal aspect of
tongue (Figure 1). The pigmentation was present in a diffuse and
symmetrical manner. The patient was asymptomatic with no other
signs and symptoms. All the routine investigations of the patient
were within normal limits. The patient was reassured of the benign
nature of this condition and no treatment was given.
5. Discussion
In fungi form papilla of the tongue there are multiple projections
scattered on the tip, lateral or dorsal parts of the tongue containing
taste buds. Most of the cases in the literature have been described
in the Africans; hence the black population is more susceptible
to it. Some cases have been reported in Asians especially Indians,
but the standard textbooks of dermatology hardly mention it. The
commonest age of presentation is in the second and third decade of
life. Males are more commonly involved than females.
PFPT has been divided into three clinical types [3]. The first type is
a well-circumscribed hyper pigmented area involving all the fungi
form papillae on the anterolateral side or towards the tip of the
tongue. The second type shows hyper pigmentation involving 3-7
fungi form papillae scattered on the dorsal surface of the tongue,
and in the third type hyper pigmentation is seen on every fungi
