More specifically, it focusses on the progress\u00a0in\u00a0surgical management, the complex interventional radiology techniques, the application of minimal invasive surgery and finally liver transplantation.\u00a0\u00a0The original article by Karaivazoglou et al. presents the process of linguistic and cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the\u00a0Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA)\u00a0to a Greek-speaking setting. Another original study by Vogiatzis et al.\u00a0evaluates\u00a0the effects of therapy in patients with a history of syncope episodes and a positive tilt test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, this issue includes three reviews. The first review, by Toumpanakis et al.\u00a0discusses\u00a0in a comprehensive way the epidemiology, prognosis, and latest advances in the field of\u00a0neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), with a special focus on NETs of the digestive tract, (gastroenteropancreatic NETs, GEP-NETs). Roda et al. presents evidence on microscopic colitis, an inflammatory disease of the large intestine and describes current clinical data on disease etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic management. Lastly, the review by Tzelepi et al. discusses the\u00a0three major\u00a0molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of colorectal carcinoma, with an emphasis on the genes implicated, the associated cancer predisposition syndromes and the therapeutic implications of selected biomarkers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">C.
