L'éthique et notamment la bioéthique ont-elles encore un sens aujourd'hui? Alors que l'hémisphère Nord accumule recommandations et réflexions éthiques, le Sud peine à garantir les soins les plus élémentaires à ses populations. La greffe d'un visage qui fait la une de tous nos quotidiens a-t-elle plus d'importance que la rougeole qui tue chaque année des milliers d'enfants africains? Dans ce monde d'égoïsme sauvage, où l'éthique est souvent réduite à une simple étiquette marketing, la médecine, piégée par sa technique instrumentale, prétend rendre aux malades leur dignité, oubliant que le consentement éclairé qu'elle prône n'est souvent qu'une façon d'éluder ses propres responsabilités. Et que dire du principe de précaution brandi par les praticiens comme l'art de la prudence alors que, dans le discours médical, les mots dignité ou solidarité vident chaque jour davantage de leur substance? Pourtant, l'éthique est un concept fondateur; il ne se réduit pas à un slogan. C'est cette dimension que cet essai veut lui restituer; celle non d'une vérité assénée et contingente, mais d'une inquiétude nécessaire et sans fin

This book consists of nine chapters covering a variety of bioinformatics subjects, ranging from database resources for protein allergens, unravelling genetic determinants of complex disorders, characterization and prediction of regulatory motifs, computational methods for identifying the best classifiers and key disease genes in large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic experiments, functional characterization of inherently unfolded proteins/regions, protein interaction networks and flexible protein-protein docking. The computational algorithms are in general presented in a way that is accessible to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers in molecular biology and genetics. The book should also serve as stepping stones for mathematicians, biostatisticians, and computational scientists to cross their academic boundaries into the dynamic and ever-expanding field of bioinformatics.

Personal health and well-being was and is important for all individuals. This includes the way people are living, what they do to stay healthy as well as a profound, well-informed diagnosis and appropriate treatment in case of disease. To achieve these goals, modern medicine is provided with a large variety of tools to assess a patient's health state and collect the information required for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which is tailored to the patient's needs. Many of these available tools use signals either generated by the human body, for example, electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG), or by interacting with the human body while traversing it like microwaves or reflected visible light that is recorded by a video camera. The biosignals recorded by the available and newly developed methods have to be processed to extract the information about the patient's condition and, analyzed tissue and cells. This book presents a small selection of the recent developments in the field of biosignal processing. The covered diagnostic tools and methods include the assessment of respiratory state through gait analysis, the contactless monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory parameters using microwaves, a non-linear approach to extract the fetal ECG from non-invasive abdominal recordings, identification of epileptic networks from pre-surgical neurophysiological recordings and an improved method to obtain and validate the copy number alterations parameter, which are considered an important marker in cancer classification.
