    Abstract Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cancer, and it has been suggested that earlier treatment would allow for better patient outcomes. However, the causes of delays in the initiation of treatment and the effects of delayed treatment on survival of patients have not fully been explored, and the effects of treatment delays for MCC are not yet fully understood.
    Aim: To determine the effect of time to treatment initiation (TTI) on mortality in MCC and to determine the predictors of TTI itself.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of the US National Cancer Database (NCDB) for cases of MCC from 2004 to 2016, excluding individuals with Stage IV MCC, as surgery is not the preferred treatment for this group. The time difference between initial biopsy of MCC and definitive surgery (TTI) was stratified into five groups by 30-day intervals.
    Results: In total, 12 157 patients [7491 (61.6%) men, 4666 (38.4%) women; mean ± SD age 74.4 ± 10.9 years] were included in the study. A risk for longer TTI was seen in black individuals (OR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.6) and in elderly individuals aged > 70 years (OR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.5). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that individuals with TTI < 30 days had a significantly longer overall survival than those with TTI > 120 days (6.1 vs. 4.8 years, P < 0.001). However, after controlling for clinical and tumour factors in Cox multivariable analysis, no difference in survival was noted for TTI < 30 days and TTI > 120 days [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.9, 95% CI 0.8-1.1). Worse outcomes were also associated with increasing age (HR = 2.0, 95% CI 1.7-2.5), male sex (HR = 1.2, 95% CI 1.2-1.3), higher Charlson-Deyo comorbidity score (HR = 1.4, 95% CI 1.3-1.5), lack of radiation therapy (HR = 0.8, 95% CI 0.8-0.9), lack of private insurance (HR = 0.7, 95% CI 0.6-1.0), and use of surgical technique other than Mohs micrographic surgery or wide local excision (HR = 1.2, 95% CI 1.2-1.3).
    Conclusion: Although TTI is a useful prognostic metric in isolated survival analysis, its utility declines when other factors are controlled for in the analysis. Age, radiotherapy, type of surgery performed, comorbidities, tumour size and lymph node involvement may be important predictors of survival.

    Abstract Background/objectives: Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic and autoimmune enteropathy of the gastrointestinal tract with malabsorption characteristics. The only effective treatment for CD is adhere strictly to a gluten-free diet (GFD) throughout life. We evaluated the dietary patterns in celiac disease patients and their association with dietary intakes and anthropometric measurements in Iran.
    Subjects/methods: This is a case-control study on 182 participants who were referred to the Khuzestan Celiac Association, Iran. Nutritional information was collected using a validated 147-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The software Stata (StataCorp, Version 14.0) was used to analyze the data. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to obtain participants' dietary patterns.
    Results: A significant relationship was observed between age and body mass index (BMI) across quartiles of the healthy dietary pattern score (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively), indicating that as age and BMI increased, participants demonstrated greater adherence to the healthy dietary pattern. Individuals with the highest adherence to the healthy dietary pattern had the lowest odds ratio for celiac disease (CD) (Q1: reference; Q2: 1.96, 95% CI: 0.84-4.55; Q3: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.27-1.42; Q4: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.03-0.33, P trend < 0.001), and this association remained significant after adjusting for BMI (adjusted P trend = 0.003) and energy intake (adjusted P trend < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significant association between the lowest odds ratio for CD and the highest adherence to the unhealthy dietary pattern after adjustment for energy intake (Q1: reference; Q2: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.13-1.12; Q3: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.06-0.71; Q4: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.02-0.29, adjusted P trend < 0.001). Additionally, a significant association was observed between the odds ratio for CD and the mixed dietary pattern score (Q1: reference; Q2: 6.01, 95% CI: 2.29-15.72; Q3: 2.47, 95% CI: 0.93-6.55; Q4: 4.84, 95% CI: 1.84-12.66, P trend = 0.02), and this association remained significant after adjustment for energy intake (adjusted P trend < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The findings of the present study indicate that individuals who adhere to healthy dietary patterns have a lower incidence of celiac disease.

    Abstract Background: : The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the elderly's physical and mental health. The application of information and communication technology, such as mobile health (m-health), can help control this pandemic by changing the behavior and lifestyle of the elderly during this time of crisis.
    Objective: : This review aimed to synthesize the capabilities of m-health in providing health services to the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify the factors contributing to the success of these tools.
    Methods: : To find the relevant studies, a search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria were: studies in English that used m-health intervention in all aspects of elderly healthcare during the COVID-19 outbreak, were published in peer-reviewed journals from 31 December 2019, and had any research design and methodology. Two authors independently took all the steps of this review, and finally performed narrative synthesis to report the findings.
    Results: : Our initial search identified 421 studies, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria. The data analysis showed that all the m-health interventions had positive effects on the health of the elderly. The m-health services for the elderly during the current pandemic were used for therapy, information provision, self-help, monitoring, and mental health consultation purposes. The results also indicated that various factors affected the elderly's use of m-health tools.
    Conclusion: : The application of m-health keeps the elderly and healthcare providers safe, accelerates health service provision, reduces the costs of service provision, and decreases the risk of morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 outbreak. The successful use of m-health tools for the elderly in health programs during the current crisis greatly depends on supporting the elderly and overcoming the barriers.
