title: [Highlights in gastroenterology and hepatology 2013].
abstract: This review highlights recent advances in gastroenterology and hepatology, including new insights into the diagnosis, pathogenesis and the treatment of ulcerative colitis, of achalasia, of irritable bowel syndrome, of chronic hepatitis B and of eosinophilic esophagitis. These new developments will be summarized and discussed critically, with a particular emphasis on their potential implications for current and future clinical practice. The recent advances on treatment of chronic hepatitis C will be published in another summary this year.
