Deploying artificial nurseries in port areas: A complementary strategy to fisheries management for supporting coastal fish populations.

Conservation measures are essential for supporting biodiversity in areas impacted by human activities. Over the last decade, efforts to rehabilitate fish nursery habitats in ports through eco-engineering have gained attention. While these interventions show promise at a local level such as increased juvenile fish densities on artificial eco-engineered habitats compared to unmodified port environments there has been no comprehensive assessment of their contribution to coastal fish population recovery or their effectiveness relative to traditional conservation measures like fishing regulations.

Case study: Recurrent uterine incarceration during pregnancy.

Background: Uterine incarceration is a rare complication of pregnancy. The most frequent complications are pain and urinary retention.

Case: We present the case of a patient who had presented a uterine incarceration during her first pregnancy, requiring a reduction under general anesthesia at 27 weeks of gestation complicated by premature delivery at 29 weeks of gestation.

Automatic Smoke Analysis in Minimally Invasive Surgery by Image-Based Machine Learning.

Introduction: Minimally Invasive Surgery uses electrosurgical tools that generate smoke. This smoke reduces the visibility of the surgical site and spreads harmful substances with potential hazards for the surgical staff. Automatic image analysis may provide assistance.

Functional diversity of microboring Ostreobium algae isolated from corals.

The filamentous chlorophyte Ostreobium sp. dominates shallow marine carbonate microboring communities, and is one of the major agents of reef bioerosion. While its large genetic diversity has emerged, its physiology remains little known, with unexplored relationship between genotypes and phenotypes (endolithic versus free-living growth forms).

Neuromuscular fatigue and time motion analysis during a table tennis competition.

Background: This study aimed to determine the neuromuscular fatigue (central versus peripheral mechanisms) as well as the game characteristics and physical demand induced by a simulated table tennis competition.

Methods: Fourteen national table tennis players participated in this study, in which neuromuscular tests (i.e.
