Endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis of oesophageal cancer and its precursor lesions. Besides this, endoscopy treatment of these precursor lesions and early oesophageal cancer has been well evaluated and established. This includes dysplastic lesions associated with Barrett's oesophagus and early adenocarcinoma, as well as early squamous cell cancer of the oesophagus. The role of endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of these lesions is summarised.

Asthma is a heterogeneous inflammatory airway disease that causes relevant morbidity across individuals of all age cohorts. In recent years, advances in the understanding of asthma pathophysiology have led to the development of treatments tailored to specific pheno- and endotypes of the disease. This has significantly changed asthma management, especially for patients with severe disease. These new treatment options offer individuals with asthma access to personalized and disease-modifying therapies. The present paper is a comprehensive overview of recent clinical studies and of German and international guideline updates on asthma management.

Objective: The prevalence of long-/post-COVID-associated chemosensory symptoms is reported in the literature to be significantly higher than clinical reality reflects.
Methods: 1. N= 4062 adults acutely infected with SARS-CoV-2 and their symptoms transmitted by the Jena health office to the Robert Koch Institute between March 2020 and September 2021 were evaluated. 2. Part of the same cohort (N = 909 of 4062) answered an extensive questionnaire at least 3 months after the start of the infection, including existing chemosensory post-COVID-associated complaints. 3. Fourteen post-COVID Jena patients with chemosensory symptoms who had become acutely infected during the same period were diagnosed, treated and advised in our ENT specialist outpatient clinic.
Results: The prevalence of chemosensory symptoms at the onset of infection was 19% (600/3187). About every second written respondent of the formerly acutely infected (441/890) remembered chemosensory symptoms during their COVID-19 infection. Of these, around 38% (167/441) complained of persistent chemosensory post-COVID symptoms after an average of 14.5 months. Only 2.3% (14/600) of the previously acutely infected patients with chemosensory symptoms sought medical help in a special consultation. Quantitative chemosensory damage could only be objectified in half, i.e. 1.2% (7/600) of the total cohort.
Conclusions: Despite a high prevalence of subjective chemosensory symptoms in acutely and formerly SARS-CoV-2 infected people, there is only a low need for specialized treatment, so that, unlike other post-COVID-associated complaints, the healthcare system as a whole appears to be less significantly burdened.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) are two entities of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Both diseases are characterised by systemic necrotising small-vessel vasculitis, which can affect any organ. In GPA, extravascular necrotising granulomatous inflammation, usually affecting the respiratory tract, is found in addition. In the majority of cases, the clinical presentation is dominated by a pulmonary-renal syndrome with alveolar haemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Other organ involvement is found as well. In GPA, the upper respiratory tract is commonly affected. GPA is associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) with specificity for proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) and MPA with specificity for myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA). Immunosuppressive therapy depends on disease activity and the severity of organ involvement.
