Lingual Osseous Choristoma: Case report and literature review of this rare entity.

Intraoral osseous choristoma represents a benign lesion of growing ectopic bone in the soft tissues of the oral cavity. It is considered as rare entity while fewer than 100 cases have ever been reported worldwide. Nevertheless, the pathogenetic mechanism that drives this abnormal ossification still remains controversial.

The development of the NOURISHING and MOVING benchmarking tools to monitor and evaluate national governments' nutrition and physical activity policies to address obesity in the European region.

Despite assurances of government action, the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and overweight and obesity is continuing to grow at an alarming rate both globally and in Europe. The NOURISHING and MOVING policy frameworks outline a comprehensive set of policy actions across 6 domains and 16 policy areas in which national governments should take action to promote healthy diets and physical activity. Monitoring and benchmarking these policies is important for assessing progress on obesity and NCD prevention.

Scan of physical activity policy actions in Europe: Lessons learned from populating the MOVING database.

Adequate levels of physical activity are important for population health. Policy databases can track, monitor, and compare the development and implementation of physical activity policy actions and are populated by different methods. The new MOVING database, developed through the Confronting Obesity: Co-creating Policy with Youth (CO-CREATE) project, collates governmental policy actions designed to increase physical activity and is populated by an in-depth scan of implemented national policy actions.

Promoting Physical Activity Policy: The Development of the MOVING Framework.

Background: Considering the large health burden of physical inactivity, effective physical activity promotion is a "best buy" for noncommunicable disease and obesity prevention. The MOVING policy framework was developed to promote and monitor government policy actions to increase physical activity as part of the EU Horizon 2020 project "Confronting Obesity: Co-creating policy with youth (CO-CREATE)."

Method: A scanning exercise, documentary review of key international policy documents, and thematic analysis of main recommendations were conducted.
