Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological features of gastric and small intestinal anisakiasis with those of gastric ulcers and Crohn's disease.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 205 cases of anisakiasis (148 gastric; 53 small intestinal) were identified between July 2003 and February 2022. The control groups included 130 and 31 patients with gastric ulcers and Crohn's disease, respectively.

Inflammatory diseases are often chronic and recurrent, and current treatments do not typically remove underlying disease drivers. T cells participate in a wide range of inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, Crohn's disease, oesophagitis and multiple sclerosis, and clonally expanded antigen-specific T cells may contribute to disease chronicity and recurrence, in part by forming persistent pathogenic memory. Chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma are inflammatory airway diseases that often present as comorbidities.

Importance: Patients with achalasia face a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer (EC), but the surveillance strategies for these patients remain controversial due to the long disease duration and the lack of identified risk factors.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of esophageal Candida infection among patients with achalasia and to assess the association of Candida infection with EC risk within this population.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients with achalasia diagnosed at or referred for treatment and monitoring to the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, between January 1, 1980, and May 31, 2024.

Background: Lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is a rare condition that has been reported in several case studies, but its diagnostic criteria and clinical significance are inconsistent. There are no established clinical associations, except for Crohn's disease in children. Our study aimed to determine if patients with LyE have distinct demographic or clinical characteristics when compared with patients with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in their esophageal biopsy.

Identifying the set of genes collectively responsible for causing a disease from differential gene expression data is called gene selection problem. Though many complex methodologies have been applied to solve gene selection, formulated as an optimization problem, this study introduces a new simple, efficient, and biologically plausible solution procedure where the collective power of the targeted gene set to discriminate between diseased and normal gene expression profiles was focused. It uses Simulated Annealing to solve the underlying optimization problem and termed here as Differential Gene Expression Based Simulated Annealing (DGESA).
