This review surveys the literature published on the characteristics and implications of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) for the Arab andBedouin populations of Israel. T2 DM is a global health problem. The rapid rise in its prevalence in the Arab and Bedouin populations in Israel is responsible for their lower life expectancy compared to Israeli Jews. The increased prevalence of T2 DM corresponds to increased rates of obesity in these populations. A major risk group is adult Arab women aged 55-64 years. In this group obesity reaches 70%. There are several genetic and nutritional explanations for this increase. We found high hospitalization rates for micro and macrovascular complications among diabetic patients of Arab and Bedouin origin. Despite the high prevalence of diabetes and its negative health implications, there is evidence that care and counseling relating to nutrition, physical activity and self-examination of the feet are unsatisfactory. Economic difficulties are frequently cited as the reason for inadequate medical care. Other proposed reasons include faith in traditional therapy and misconceptions about drugs and their side effects. In Israel, the quality indicators program is based on one of the world's leading information systems and deals with the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. The program's baseline data pointed to health inequality between minority populations and the general population in several areas, including monitoring and control of diabetes. Based on these data, a pilot intervention program was planned, aimed at minority populations. This program led to a decrease in inequality and served as the basis for a broader, more comprehensive intervention that has entered the implementation stage. Interventions that were shown to be effective in other Arabic countries may serve as models for diabetes management in the Arab and Bedouin populations in Israel.

Consideration of functions and its localization has an impact on the treatment of patients with brain injury. The aim of the article is to show an experience of neuropsychological treatment applied to a spanish-speaking masculine of 77 years old with brain injury of ischemic type in left anterior artery. Pre- and post-assessment was applied to the patient. The previous assessment established motor efferent aphasia with serious problems of cortical and sub-cortical activation. The program for rehabilitation included special activities on concrete, perceptual, and verbal level of verbal and non-verbal activities. The 11 months of application of program of rehabilitation permitted to obtain considerably better results in all neuropsychological tasks. Functional reorganization in motor organization, oral language, comprehension, drawing, writing, reading, and problem-solving significant for patient"s life and occupation took place. Our study shows that the program of neurorehabilitation should be based on qualitative analysis of verbal and non-verbal activity. The results confirm the necessity of inclusion of broad scale of activities during rehabilitation of patients with motor aphasia.
