Compassion matters in elite sports environments: Insights from high-performance coaches.

It is an open question to which degree compassion-noticing, engaging with, and acting to alleviate suffering in self and others-is (considered) advantageous in elite sports. Addressing this question, we herein provide insights into high-performance coaches' perceptions on the role of compassion in elite sports environments. Specifically, 12 coaches working at the highest level of their respective sport (in Denmark) partook in semi-structured interviews focusing on the utilization, implications, as well as barriers for implementing compassion in elite sports environments.

Safety of lornoxicam in the treatment of postoperative pain: a post-marketing study of analgesic regimens containing lornoxicam compared with standard analgesic treatment in 3752 day-case surgery patients.

Background: Post-marketing surveillance studies can provide supplemental data on the safety of medications in the general population.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of analgesic regimens including the NSAID lornoxicam in the short-term treatment of postoperative pain in a clinically relevant population.

Study Design: Randomized, open-label, multicentre, multinational, observational cohort study of 4 days' duration.

Extensive IgE cross-reactivity towards the Pooideae grasses substantiated for a large number of grass-pollen-sensitized subjects.

Background: Allergy to taxonomically related species is a common phenomenon caused by the same immunological receptor cross-reacting to homologous allergens from different species. Knowledge of patterns of cross-reactivity is crucial for the selection of optimal products for diagnosis and for specific immunotherapy. The objective of this study was to investigate patterns of serum IgE cross-reactivity towards pollens from various grass species.
