In primary care, the initial focus is on relieving pain and ruling out “red flags.” A patient-centered approach is recommended, which includes education and counseling. For example, patients should be advised that physical rest is counterproductive in cases of nonspecific back pain. If the use of medication for pain relief is being considered, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should be preferred over acetaminophen, as the former have been shown to be more effective than a placebo….

Most people spend more than half of their working hours indoors [2], and there is growing evidence that interior design is a relevant factor not only for well-being but also for work-related productivity. In a virtual reality pilot study, an innovative approach was used to investigate whether and how biophilic office design can increase visual attention and contribute to improved cognitive performance….
