Inguinal hernia operations represent the most frequent operations overall with 300,000 interventions annually in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region). Despite the announced political willingness and the increasing pressure from the legislator to avoid costly inpatient treatment by carrying out as many outpatient operations as possible, outpatient treatment has so far played a subordinate role in the DACH region. The Boards of the specialist societies the German Hernia Society (DHG), the Surgical Working Group Hernia (CAH of the DHG), the Austrian Hernia Society (ÖHG) and the Swiss Working Group Hernia Surgery (SAHC) make inroads into this problem, describe the initial position and assess the current situation.

One of the consequences of the COVID-19 lockdown is that it hinders school-based dengue management interventions. This is due to the closure of schools and the limited availability of online lessons in certain schools. Conversely, the level of basic understanding that primary school children have about the condition is directly related to their likelihood of getting it and their ability to modify their behaviour to prevent it.

Article Synopsis
- Glofitamab, a bispecific antibody targeting CD20 and CD3, shows promise for treating relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) in heavily pretreated patients, with an overall response rate of 47%.
- In a study involving 70 patients in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the median number of prior treatments was four, with notable safety concerns including cytokine release syndrome in 40% of cases.
- Important findings indicate that elevated LDH levels predict poorer outcomes, and recent treatment with bendamustine may reduce the efficacy of glofitamab, suggesting careful treatment sequencing is essential.

Article Synopsis
- Southeast Asian countries have faced rising dengue cases, highlighting the need for effective public health measures, particularly in Southern Thailand, where a school-based dengue prevention model was developed.
- A community participatory action research approach was used to engage high school students and gather both quantitative and qualitative data on the effectiveness of the intervention.
- Results showed a significant increase in students' understanding of dengue and community health responsibilities, with factors like gender and education level influencing their engagement in the program.
