Sleep-disordered breathing, ranging from habitual snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea, is highly prevalent and represents a growing global healthcare burden. Besides disrupting sleep, sleep-disordered breathing leads to detrimental outcomes such as excessive daytime sleepiness, neurocognitive impairment, and increased cardiometabolic morbidities. The gold standard diagnostic procedures (e.g., in-lab polysomnography) are cumbersome and standard parameters derived from sleep studies often yield poor long-term prognostic value. Hence, there is a need for innovative diagnostic technologies and novel sleep metrics to enable simple diagnosis and tailored disease management.

Faire silence sur la couleur de la peau, sur les origines serviles des habitants alors que la majorité de la population libre descendait d’esclaves, était l’idéal affiché au Brésil nouvellement indépendant du Portugal en 1822. Pourtant, ce livre, prix des Archives nationales brésiliennes en 1993, et pionnier dans la recherche sur la construction juridique et sociale des catégories de couleur, démontre tout le contraire. La question raciale est demeurée au coeur de la société brésilienne. Le silence autour de l’esclavage a de fait contribué à la racialisation et au renforcement du racisme. Ce livre est d’une brûlante actualité car la mémoire de l’esclavage a nourri au Brésil des demandes de droits spécifiques, des politiques publiques de discrimination positive et de réparation, mais aussi d’intenses polémiques au cours des deux dernières décennies : quels enseignements pouvons-nous en tirer aussi bien en matière épistémologique que politique ? La mémoire de l’esclavage résiste-t- elle au politique ou s’en joue-t-elle ?
