Background: Sufentanil is commonly used to induce general anaesthesia due to its rapid onset of action, strong analgesic effect, long-lasting effect, and stable haemodynamics; however, it often induces cough, increasing the risk of anaesthesia. This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of low-dose esketamine on sufentanil-induced cough.
Methods: This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study was conducted at the Air Force Medical Center between September 2023 and May 2024.

Objective: Tapentadol causes fewer gastrointestinal adverse events than other potent opioid analgesics because of its low affinity for opioid receptors; however, development of symptoms related to central nervous system disorders, including delirium, has not been well-studied. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the development of delirium after initiation of tapentadol therapy in hospitalized patients with cancer.
Design: Retrospective study.

Background: Ketamine is a promising therapy for treatment-resistant depression due to its rapid onset, although benefits are often transitory, with patients needing maintenance therapy to prevent relapse. Most data supporting ketamine for treatment-resistant depression refers to the intravenous route of administration, leaving alternative routes lacking in data, especially as maintenance regimens. Moreover, the safety of ketamine maintenance therapy is poorly defined.
