Article Abstract
The article deals with the question of how Long Covid has become a disease. Of interest are the pathways and imprints, how the problem has established itself as a disease and materialized, or how society has come to the realization of its problems. Far-reaching institutionalization of Long Covid as a disease belies existing interpretive struggles in and around Long-Covid. How meaning is produced and how it becomes effective might be the starting point of a praxeological cultural analysis as proposed here.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic reduced colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, but the rebound in testing and outcomes following the pandemic has not been widely reported. We evaluated CRC test utilization and colorectal neoplasia detection among screening eligible patients in a large health system in 2020 and 2021, compared to 2019 (pre-pandemic).
Methods: Using a retrospective cohort study design, fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and colonoscopy utilization, FIT positivity, and neoplasia detection were evaluated annually in 2019-2021 among Kaiser Permanente Northern California patients aged 50-75 years overall and by sex, age, race and ethnicity, and spoken language preference.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is now known to be caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has been a public health threat since early 2020 and has affected millions of people worldwide. Many studies have now shown that this virus exhibits a milder infection in children compared to adults. Acute COVID-19 infection, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), and long COVID have been recently well-established in the pediatric population with a myriad of systemic manifestations.

In this 13-month follow-up study, we examined a cohort of vaccinated healthcare workers without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection to assess the humoral and cellular response to the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine over time. We measured median immunoglobulin G and lymphocyte subpopulation levels after the first and second doses, at five months post-second dose, and before and after the third dose. Our findings evinced a remarkable initial cellular and humoral response to each vaccine dose, although a progressive decline suggests the potential need for long-term booster doses.
