Objectives The literature on health and disease during Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. Here, we provide an overview of the research on the interplay of RF with various aspects of well-being published in 2022. Materials and Methods A narrative, nonsystematic review of the international literature from a single major medical online database, PubMed, in one calendar year (2022) was conducted. The search term “Ramadan fasting” was used to retrieve the appropriate records. The relevant literature with substantial data-based content was presented in a concise thematic account, excluding those concerned with diabetes. Results Themes that emerged from the review included the pathophysiology of metabolic changes during RF, nutritional aspects including body composition and energy metabolism, cardiovascular disease and risk factors, renal function and structure, endocrinology (mainly thyroid), neurological disorders, mental health, pregnancy and fetal life, and infections (including COVID). Some miscellaneous clinical themes were identified, such as patients' and professional perspectives. Conclusions In 2022, the medical interest in RF was again widely spread across specialties. Cardiovascular disease and risk factors attract the most interest in terms of original articles and professional guidelines. We hope with this review to present a concise summary of the scholarly work on the subject in this year.

“…One's religiosity may also be a potent variable (with mixed negative and positive associations) in diseases related to mortality, such as cancer (e.g., Almaraz et al, 2022;Elkhalloufi et al, 2022;Fradelos et al, 2018;Kugbey et al, 2020;Moorman et al, 2019;Thun e-Boyle et al, 2006;Thygesen et al, 2012;Van Ness et al, 2003) and cardiovascular disease (Brewer et al, 2022;Elhag et al, 2022;Seybold & Hill, 2001;Svensson et al, 2020). Factors associated with religiosity that may negatively affect mortality include delaying diagnosis of cancer (Moorman et al, 2019) and a reliance on an external locus of control (believing God controls health; Kinney et al, 2002), whereas the context of religious service attendance may have a positive effect on mortality (Bruce et al, 2022) Relatedly, one religious practice, fasting during Ramadan, has been shown to improve some aspects of the cardiovascular system (lipid profile, oxidative stress; Ahmed et al, 2022;Al-Shafei, 2014;Naz et al, 2022), although fasting is not recommended for all individuals due to some health concerns (Malinowski et al, 2019). Additionally, Stavrova (2015) and Ebert et al (2020) noted that any health and mortality benefits of religiosity across religions and cultures are limited to regions where religiosity is considered common and socially desirable; therefore, when considering the effects of reli-giosity on aspects of health, one should consider the acceptance of practices in their living context.…”

Awareness of the intersectionality of a person's religious and spiritual belief system with their mental and physical health is slowly being elevated within the Western healthcare system. There are many opportunities for better understanding and incorporation of religious and spiritual beliefs into aphasia rehabilitation. To extend the recognition of religion and spirituality's importance in healthcare to persons living with post-stroke aphasia while emphasizing the diversity of beliefs, the current article seeks to provide a brief overview of the global religions; explain the intersection of religion, spirituality, and health; review the existing literature in the area of aphasia and religion, spirituality, and spiritual care; discuss the clinical importance and implications of religion and spirituality; and finally, lay out a forward view of the direction this area of exploration may take within aphasiology.
