intermittent fasting(English)
- encompasses eating patterns in which individuals go extended time periods (e.g., 16-48h) with little or no energy intake, with intervening periods of normal food intake, on a recurring basis, having profound beneficial effects on many different indices of health. In contrast, overconsumption of food with uncontroled eating patterns often leads to metabolic morbidities (insulin resistance, excessive accumulation of visceral fat, etc.), particularly when associated with a sedentary lifestyle

incidental finding(English)
- observation, result, or other finding that may occur during analysis but is unrelated to the primary goals of the analysis. Generally, IFs are found during the course of research or casework, but are considered beyond the scope of the project, and often beyond the expertise of the analyst. It has been argued that IFs are intrinsic to human subjects research, and “the problem of IFs is serious, ubiquitous, and growing.” Because human subjects are the primary source of analytical material in forensic anthropology, forensic anthropologists have the potential to encounter IFs in each human forensic case; however, IFs in such contexts are rarely, if ever discussed. Within the forensic sciences, IFs are primarily discussed relating to biology and genetic analysis. In terms of forensic biology, IFs include issues of paternity/maternity or genetic predisposition to various diseases, the ethical question being: when a false paternity/maternity is indicated via genetic analysis, should the results be disclosed to the individual/family? The ICRC mirrors such concerns regarding IFs and personal/reference information, stating such information “is a powerful tool when used correctly and dangerous when misused”
