Meta-analysis in metafor package with within-subjects standard error?

I am conducting a meta-analysis with metafor in R. For the majority of articles, I managed to extract means and standard deviations, which I need for the escalc function to calculate an effect size.



However, many of the articles only provide means and within-subject standard error.



My questions:
1. is there a way to calculate standard deviation or standard error of the mean from the within subject standard error?
2. is there a way to calculate an effect size from only means and within subject standard error in metafor?



thanks!
