There is growing interest in conceptualizing and diagnosing frailty. Less is understood, however, about older adults\' perceptions of the term \"frail\", and the implications of being classified as \"frail\". The purpose of this scoping review was to map the breadth of primary studies; and describe the meaning, perceptions, and perceived implications of frailty language amongst community-dwelling older adults. Eight studies were included in the review and three core themes were identified: (1) understanding frailty as inevitable age-related decline in multiple domains, (2) perceiving frailty as a generalizing label, and (3) perceiving impacts of language on health and health care utilization. Clinical practice recommendations for health care professionals working with individuals with frailty include: (1) maintaining a holistic view of frailty that extends beyond physical function to include psychosocial and environmental constructs, (2) using person-first language, and (3) using a strengths-based approach to discuss aspects of frailty.

Clear cells sarcomas (CCS) are exceptionally rare in the tongue, with, to our knowledge, only three previous reports in anglo-saxon literature. Through our case, we will discuss the differential diagnosis of clear cells tumors of the tongue and bring this tumour closer to the newly described entity of the gastrointestinal tract named \"clear cells sarcoma-like gastrointestinal (SCCLGI)\", recently renamed \"gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumour (GNET)\". SCCLGI/GNET share morphological and molecular characteristics with SCC but had until then been observed only in the digestive tract. Our case could be a lingual localization of a SCCLGI/GNET. SCC and SCCLGI/GNET characteristic molecular profil involves EWSR1-ATF1 [t(12; 22) (q13; q12)] and EWSR1-CREB1 [t(2; 22) (q34; q12)] fusion genes, but it is not specific of these tumours.

BACKGROUND: Little information is available on the prevalence and clinical aspects of tongue involvement in children with psoriasis. The aim was to evaluate the prevalence, clinical aspects and risk factors concerning tongue involvement in children with psoriasis.
METHODS: This study was carried out in two stages. We performed a multicentre, cross-sectional study in 23 French dermatology centers. All children seen for psoriasis during the one-year study were systematically included. The clinical features of the tongue and of psoriasis were recorded. Association with clinical aspects of psoriasis and comorbidities was evaluated. We then carried out a literature review to evaluate the prevalence of tongue involvement in children with psoriasis and its positive predictive value for psoriasis. A search was conducted in the PUBMED database using the following keywords: \"child\" and \"psoriasis\" and (\"tongue\" or \"glossitis\" or \"migratory glossitis\" or \"benign migratory glossitis\" or \"geographic tongue\" or \"fissured tongue\").
RESULTS: 7.7% of the 313 children with psoriasis had tongue involvement. The clinical aspects were geographic tongue (4.2%), fissured tongue (2.8%) and both (0.64%). There was no association between tongue involvement and the clinical characteristics of the children. Two hundred and ninety-five articles were referenced and 3 were analysed. Psoriasis is very rare in cases of tongue abnormalities.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of tongue involvement was 7.7% in children with psoriasis. No clinical or epidemiological association was shown. Tongue involvement does not modify the management of psoriasis. In the literature review it was not possible to evaluate either the prevalence of tongue involvement in psoriasis or the positive predictive value thereof.
