Abstract:
The year 2025 saw major advances in gastroenterology and hepatology. Having long been overshadowed by other chronic viral hepatitis, Hepatitis D now benefits from new therapeutic options, including bulevirtide, offering markedly improved clinical prospects. In metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, semaglutide has generated strong interest, with promising outcomes in fibrotic steatohepatitis, underscoring the close link between metabolism and liver health. Finally, endo-hepatology is emerging as an innovative tool for both the evaluation and targeted management of portal hypertension, while metabolic endoscopic techniques are paving the way for promising minimally invasive alternatives. This article aims to provide an in-depth overview of these recent developments and to discuss their implications for everyday clinical practice.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
