Erectile dysfunction is a common disease. It affects the quality of life of both husband and wife and its prevalence is higher in patients with overt cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular risk factors. In recent years, multiple studies confirm that nebivolol exerts protective effects on erectile function against the disruptive effects of cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, but its quality and efficacy have not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis to fully evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebivolol on erectile function in the cases with coronary artery bypass grafting. ⋯ INPLASY202060110.

At the Research-Clinical Interface: Returning Individual Genetic Results to Research Participants.
Whether individual results of genetic research studies ought to be disclosed to study participants has been debated in recent decades. Previously, the prevailing expert view discouraged the return of individual research results to participants because of the potential lack of analytic validity, questionable clinical validity and medical actionability, and questions about whether it is the role of research to provide participants with their data. ⋯ In this review, we describe current views regarding the return of genetic research results, including controversies and practical challenges, and consider the application of these issues to research on apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1), a gene recently associated with health disparities in kidney disease. Although this case is unique, it illustrates the complexities involved in returning results and highlights remaining questions.

In response to the economic requirement of the nation and meet the need of patient's, a momentous event was going back to work step by step as fighting against COVID-19. ⋯ We used checklists based on our experiences on COVID-19 control and reality of clinical work from February to March in the West China Hospital, involving events of screening patient, chaperonage, and healthcare workers. Checklist summarized the actual clinical nursing work and management practices, hope to provide a reference for the order of surgery during the epidemic prevention and control, and standardize the clinical nursing work of surgery during pandemic.
