Global Impact of COVID-19 on Colorectal Cancer Screening: Current Insights and Future Directions.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought significant challenges to many aspects of healthcare delivery since the first reported case in early December 2019. Once in the body, SARS-CoV-2 can spread to other digestive organs, such as the liver, because of the presence of ACE2 receptors. ⋯ At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended that all non-urgent surgical and medical procedures, including screening colonoscopies, be delayed until the pandemic stabilization. This article aims to review the impact of COVID-19 on CRC screening.

Risk of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Transmission Among Healthcare Workers Dining in Hospital Staff Cafeterias.
Preventive measures are needed to reduce the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among healthcare workers (HCWs). Notably, hospital staff are usually exposed when they are unmasked. There are limited data on the risk of transmission during mealtimes at hospital staff cafeterias. We aimed to evaluate the risk of transmission in cafeterias. ⋯ The risk of transmission in a hospital's employee cafeterias is not high with side-by-side seating, especially in the absence of conversation.

This study investigates the active components and mechanism of Shufeng Jiedu Capsules (SFJDC) against novel coronavirus through network pharmacology and molecular docking. The TCMSP, TCMID, and BATMAN-TCM databases were used to retrieve the components of SFJDC. The active components were screened by ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) parameters, and identified by Pubchem, Chemical Book, and ChemDraw softwares. ⋯ The herbs-active components-targets network contained 7 herbs, 10 active components, and 225 targets. The 225 target targets were involved in 653 biological processes of Gene Ontology analysis and 130 signal pathways (false discovery rate ≤ 0.01) of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. The active components of SFJDC (such as Kaempferol, Wogonin, and Baicalein) may combine with ACE2 and act on multiple signaling pathways and targets to exert therapeutic effect on novel coronavirus.
