Effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions on psychological distress and health-related quality of life among patients with maintenance hemodialysis: a systematic review and... by Liyuan Zhang, Li Zou, Lijuan Zhou

“…Psychoeducational interventions that use coping strategies, goal setting, and relaxation techniques could enhance the QOL in MHD patients in the short term (< 1 m) (SMD: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.42 to 1.30, p = 0.02, I2 = 86%; 241 participants).Conclusions Psychoeducational interventions have shown great potential to improve anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with MHD at the short- and medium-term follow-ups.Trial registration number: CRD42023440561.…”

Study on the Spontaneous Imbibition Characteristics of the Deep Longmaxi Formation Shales of the Southern Sichuan Basin, China by Chao Qian, Xizhe Li, Weijun Shen, Wei Guo, Yong Hu, Zhongcheng Li

“…The spontaneous imbibition curve of deep shale can be divided into an initial spontaneous imbibition stage, an intermediate transition stage, and a later diffusion stage, and the imbibition capacity coefficient of deep shale is lower than that of shallow shale. The transverse relaxation time (T2) spectrum distributions suggest that clay hydration and swelling produce new pores and microcracks, but then some pores and microfractures close. …”
