Dengue fever is a common infectious disease in the tropical and subtropical zones, with more than 100 million symptomatic cases per year. Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes (Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopticus) are vectors of the disease, and their spread has led to rising case numbers around the world. Physicians in Europe, too, are increasingly being confronted by this challenge. ⋯ Climate change and global mobility have led to a worldwide increase in dengue fever. The disease only rarely takes a severe course. In such cases, rapid symptomatic treatment as needed is the key to the avoidance of severe complications.

Systemic Psychotherapy: An Introduction to Its Theoretical Foundations and Clinical Practice.
Systemic therapy (ST) was approved as a further psychotherapy approach in line with the German Psychotherapy Directive's requirements in 2020 for adults and in 2024 for children and adolescents, and is thus covered by statutory health insurance. ⋯ ST broadens the scope of treatment options for mental disorders, with a specific focus on their social context.

The standard aortic valve replacement operations in young patients are bioprosthetic or mechanical aortic valve replacement. In this study, we present the long-term results of the Ross operation in young patients. ⋯ The Ross operation with root replacement was associated with high survival rates over 25 years of follow-up. The rates of reoperation and reintervention, the morbidity and mortality, and the rate of endocarditis are low. The Ross operation is thus an effective surgical treatment option for young patients with aortic valve disease.
