Osteochondral lesions of the talus involve injury to the articular cartilage and underlying subchondral bone. These lesions are difficult to treat because of the poor blood supply and poor regenerative capacity of the talar articular cartilage. It is important to provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical presentation, diagnostic tools, and nonsurgical and surgical treatment strategies for osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Advanced imaging modalities used currently have led to increases in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of these tears. The anatomy, five-layer histology, and relationship to the Ellman classification of PTRCTs have been well studied, with recent interest in radiographic predictors, such as the critical shoulder angle and acromial index.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the safety and outcomes of endoscopic ablation for BE within Polish centers.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from three high-volume endoscopy units between 2002-2024.
Introduction: Recently, a three-step endoscopic scale, known as the Diverticular Inflammation and Complication Assessment (DICA), was introduced to predict the course of diverticular disease (DD), yielding some promising outcomes. However, analyses were performed only for symptomatic individuals.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to prospectively evaluate the predictive value of DICA in asymptomatic individuals with no previous diagnosis of DD who underwent colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the esophagus. It is diagnosed in the setting of symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and an eosinophilic predominant infiltrate in the esophagus. The condition is rapidly increasing in incidence and prevalence and is commonly encountered in gastroenterology and allergy practices, emergency departments, and primary care settings.
