  • Titles of Federal Government Programs (Canadian)
  • Urban Housing
OBS

Since 2001, the Government of Canada has committed to an investment of $1 billion through the Affordable Housing Initiative (AHI). The AHI is the vehicle through which the federal government, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, provides contributions to increase the supply of off reserve affordable housing, in partnership with provinces and territories. A multilateral housing framework was agreed to by Federal, Provincial and Territorial housing Ministers in November 2001. This framework established the broad parameters for bilateral Affordable Housing Program Agreements which have been signed with each province and territory.

OBS

Depuis 2001, le gouvernement du Canada s'est engagé à investir 1 milliard de dollars par l'entremise de l'Initiative en matière de logement abordable (ILA). Il s'agit du véhicule par l'entremise duquel le gouvernement du Canada, par l'intermédiaire de la Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement, en partenariat avec les provinces et territoires, verse les mises de fonds de manière à augmenter l'offre de logements abordables hors des réserves. En novembre 2001, les ministres du Logement des paliers fédéral, provincial et territorial convenaient d'un cadre de référence multilatéral sur le logement. Ce cadre de référence établissait les grandes lignes des ententes bilatérales concernant le programme de logement abordable qui ont été signées avec chaque province et territoire.

Record 3 2004-08-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrodiagnosis
  • Nervous System
DEF

The frequency of abnormal respiratory events per hour of sleep. These events are classified as Apneas or Hypopneas. Apnea is when breathing (airflow) stops for 10 seconds or more. Hypopnea is a partial blockage of airflow resulting in arousal and a possible drop in oxygen level. An RDI of 45 would indicate that the patient is experiencing complete or partial airflow blockage 45 times per hour.

CONT

Sleep-disordered breathing, which may include apneas, hypopneas and respiratory effort related arousals (RERAs), is the hallmark of OSA [obstructive sleep apnea]. It is currently standard in clinical practice and epidemiologic studies to assess the severity of sleep-disordered breathing by combining the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep in an index called the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or the respiratory disturbance index (RDI). This index has been shown to be both a reproducible measurement and a predictor of associated cardiovascular disease.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électrodiagnostiques
  • Système nerveux
DEF

Fréquence d'épisodes de respiration anormale pendant une heure de sommeil.

CONT

La survenue de plus de cinq apnées ou dix apnées + hypopnées par heure de sommeil (index apnées hypopnées, IAH) et l'existence de symptômes nocturnes (le ronflement essentiellement) et diurnes (la somnolence diurne excessive, en particulier) définissent le syndrome d'apnées du sommeil (SAS).
