An 8-week online mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety among psychiatric healthcare workers in Shenyang, China. In a randomized controlled trial with 135 participants who completed the intervention, those in the online MBSR group showed lower emotional suppression, fewer depression symptoms, and fewer anxiety symptoms compared with a waitlist control group. The reduction in emotional suppression partly explained the improvement in depression and anxiety symptoms, suggesting that online MBSR may work by decreasing emotional suppression.
Adding a moderate dose of esketamine (0.03 mg/kg/h) to patient-controlled intravenous analgesia combined with a preoperative intercostal nerve block significantly reduced acute postoperative pain after thoracoscopic lobectomy, compared to a low dose of esketamine or sufentanil alone. Pain scores on the Numerical Rating Scale were lower at 2, 4, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery, and the need for rescue analgesia and opioid consumption decreased. The moderate esketamine group also had less postoperative nausea and vomiting than the sufentanil group. Low-dose esketamine did not improve pain control over sufentanil alone.
