Fasting is a prevalent approach to weight loss and is a feasible method for treating some diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. Meanwhile, the effects of intermittent fasting on health, aging, and disease process are hot issues and are of concern by researchers of multiple areas, even the public. This article introduces the effects of fasting on human lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, protein metabolism, and neuroendocrine metabolism; demonstrates the metabolic conversion caused by fasting; and describes the effects of fasting on human psychological health, the relationship between mood regulation and glucose, and the emotional enhancing effect induced by fasting.

El estudio de adaptabilidad familiar en pacientes adultos mayores con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 busca establecer la relación existente entre estas variables dentro del proceso salud enfermedad. Mediante el estudio analítico, transversal y correlacional se evaluó el control de la diabetes mediante cuantificación de Hba1c y la adaptabilidad familiar medida a través de una de las dimensiones que se obtiene mediante las preguntas impares del Test FACES III que está conformado por el control, disciplina, los roles y reglas establecidas en la familia. No adaptabilidad familiar que define a familias caóticas y flexibles; con la cual se obtiene que el 73,9% de los pacientes (Chi2 calculado de 30.669, valor de p < 0,05 (0,000000)) miembros de estas familias no alcanzan la meta de Hba1c por lo tanto no controlan la Diabetes. Adultos mayores con No adaptabilidad familiar tienen 16 veces mayor probabilidad de no controlar su enfermedad.   Abstract The study of familiar adaptability in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus seeks to establish the relationship between these variables within the health disease process. Through the analytical, crosssectional and correlational study, the control of diabetes is evaluated through the quantification of Hba1c and the family adaptability measured through one of the dimensions obtained by the odd questions of the FACES III Test, which is made up of the control, discipline, functions and rules established in the family. Non-family adaptability that defines chaotic and flexible families is created; with which 73.9% of the patients were achieved (calculated Chi2 of 30,669, value of p <0.05 (0.000000)) members of these families do not reach the goal of Hba1c therefore they do not control Diabetes. Older adults do not have family adaptability are 16 times more likely not to control their disease.

As If

This paper is a contribution to the growing literature on the role of projective identification in understanding couples' dynamics. Projective identification as a defence is well suited to couples, as intimate partners provide an ideal location to deposit unwanted parts of the self. This paper illustrates how projective identification functions differently depending on the psychological health of the couple. It elucidates how healthier couples use projective identification more as a form of communication, whereas disturbed couples are inclined to employ it to invade and control the other, as captured by Meltzer's concept of "intrusive identification". These different uses of projective identification affect couples' capacities to provide what Bion called "containment". In disturbed couples, partners serve as what Meltzer termed "claustrums" whereby projections are not contained, but imprisoned or entombed in the other. Applying the concept of claustrum helps illuminate common feelings these couples express, such as feeling suffocated, stifled, trapped, held hostage, or feeling as if the relationship is killing them. Finally, this paper presents treatment challenges in working with more disturbed couples.

The Relationship

This paper maps the basic opposition groups that influenced the Egyptian political system in the last years of Hosni Mubarak’s rule. It approaches the nature of the relationship between the system and the opposition through use of the concept of “semi-opposition.” An examination and evaluation of the opposition groups shows the extent to which the regime—in order to appear that it was opening the public sphere to the opposition—had channels of communication with the Muslim Brotherhood. The paper also shows the system’s relations with other groups, such as “Kifaya” and “April 6”; it then explains the reasons behind the success of the Muslim Brotherhood at seizing power after the ousting of President Mubarak.
