This document provides an overview of the anatomy, histology, embryology, lesions, and applied aspects of the tongue. It begins with an introduction and then discusses the anatomy of the tongue including its muscles, blood supply, nerve supply, and embryological development. It also covers common tongue lesions and disorders such as infections, nutritional deficiencies, premalignant conditions, and neoplasms. Finally, it discusses the applied role of the tongue in areas such as prosthodontic examination, border molding, tooth position, and management of partial glossectomy patients.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingival, which is one of the main
benign, reactive hyperplastic inflammatory lesions of the gingiva occurring in young adults. It has a very high
recurrence rate of around 7-45%. For this reason, a longer patient follow-up is very important in POF. Peripheral
ossifying fibroma comprises about 9% of all gingival growths. POF has similar clinical presentations with different
lesions which makes it difficult to reach at a correct diagnosis. In this article, we are reporting a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in a 16-year-old female patient.

Determining Sex and Ethnicity from Bite Mark EvidenceScott Hesford
Abstract
This study was undertaken to ascertain whether it is possible to determine the sex and ethnicity of an individual, from the scientific analysis of bite mark evidence, which was artificially replicated by 102 consenting participants.
Analysis was predominantly performed either odontometrically or visually, though whenever it was considered to be possible, both of these methods were combined in hope to increase the accuracy of the findings, when a visual analysis alone could not precisely do so.
Odontometric analysis was performed to measure the width of 3 different points within the maxillary arch and to measure 12 dimensions of a variety of both maxillary and mandibular teeth either mesiodistally, labiolingually, buccolingually or distobuccal-labiolingually, while the canine teeth were measured both mesiodistally and labiolingually, as previous research had suggested that these teeth provided the most significance when determining the sex and ethnicity of an individual. Visual analysis was restricted to what could not be measured odontometrically, such as whether certain teeth had extra cusps, which could then be compared between the sexes and ethnic groups to identify any possible correlations.
From the results obtained, it is unmistakeably clear that many aspects of the bite mark can be effective in the determination of sex and or ethnicity, with the odontometric mesiodistal analysis of the canine teeth producing the most statistical significance, predominantly to the level of p=0.00, whilst visually, the most effective way of analysing ethnicity was through the assessment of the palatal shape of the maxillary arch. The presence of diastematas also showed high significance in the ability of being able to identify ethnicity, which was analysed both visually and odontometrically.

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.

• Tongue is an important organ that helps in mastication, deglutition
and speech. Examination of tongue plays a major role during oral
examination of soft tissues. The knowledge about anatomy,
development and diseases associated with tongue helps in
identifying the same leading to pathological changes of tongue at
earliest.
