Online mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) delivered via apps or websites significantly improve quality of life, sleep, anxiety, depression, distress, and perceived stress in cancer patients compared to standard care, based on a meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials involving 1,613 participants. No significant effects were found for fear of cancer recurrence or posttraumatic growth. Most interventions were multicomponent, website-based health self-management programs used internationally. The findings suggest online MBIs are promising for mental health and quality of life in oncology, though further research is needed to tailor them to individual symptoms.
In patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy, a single low dose of esketamine (0.25 mg/kg) given at anesthesia induction did not improve overall quality of recovery as measured by the QoR-40 questionnaire compared to saline. However, esketamine reduced intraoperative opioid use, stabilized blood pressure and heart rate, shortened time to extubation and recovery room stay, and lowered postoperative pain scores, inflammation, and sleep disturbance without causing adverse effects. Higher education level was associated with better recovery.
