Application of Remimazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Esketamine in Pediatric Preoperative Sedation
By comparing the application effects of three drugs in pediatric preoperative sedation, this study explores the optimal medication regimen, aiming to provide safer, more effective, and more personalized medication options for pediatric preoperative sedation. Additionally, this research will also focus on the impact of these three drugs on postoperative agitation …
Dexmedetomidine-Esketamine Combination and Sleep Disturbances After Major Noncardiac Surgery
Sleep disturbances are common early after major surgery, and are associated with delayed recovery. A previous study showed that dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination as a supplement to patient-controlled intravenous analgesia improved postoperative analgesia and subjective sleep quality in patients after scoliosis correction surgery. The purpose of this trial is to test the …

Alpha-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4- Isoxazole Propionic Acid Receptor Components of the Anti-Depressant Ketamine Response
The proposed study will assess the combined effect of perampanel and ketamine on the anti-depressant response in individuals with treatment resistant depression. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that stimulation of Alpha-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4- Isoxazole Propionic Acid receptors (AMPAR) is critical to the anti-depressant response of ketamine.
Neuropharmacologic Imaging and Biomarker Assessments of Response to Acute and Repeated-Dosed Ketamine Infusions in Major Depressive Disorder
