Introduction And Importance: This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing pulmonary embolism and the need for careful timing of preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram in patients with potentially detachable intracardiac masses as a tumor detachment during TEE led to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old man with a history of treated pulmonary embolism had progressive dyspnea. Tests revealed a mass in the right atrium and a new pulmonary embolism.

Since 2011, holopelagic Sargassum have been massively stranding in the coastal environments of the Caribbean Islands inducing damages to coastal ecosystems, public health and the economy. To limit the risks associated with Sargassum stranding, floating barriers with nets can be placed in front of sensitive areas, to divert Sargassum away from the coast. To evaluate the potential transfer of metallic trace element (MTE) from Sargassum to adjacent marine life, seagrasses (Halophila stipulacea, Thalassia testidinum) and urchin (Lytechinus variegatus) were sampled, both close (0 m) and far (200 m) from barriers installed during 4 years in two bays: Baie Cayol (BC) and Cap Est (CE) in Martinique (FWI).

Background: The maximal sensitivity for local pairwise alignment makes the Smith-Waterman algorithm a popular choice for protein sequence database search. However, its quadratic time complexity makes it compute-intensive. Unfortunately, current state-of-the-art software tools are not able to leverage the massively parallel processing capabilities of modern GPUs with close-to-peak performance.

Neural network pruning provides a promising prospect for the deployment of neural networks on embedded or mobile devices with limited resources. Although current structured strategies are unconstrained by specific hardware architecture in the phase of forward inference, the decline in classification accuracy of structured methods is beyond the tolerance at the level of general pruning rate. This inspires us to develop a technique that satisfies high pruning rate with a small decline in accuracy and has the general nature of structured pruning.

Ecosystems and biodiversity across the world are being altered by human activities. Habitat modification and degradation are among the most important drivers of biodiversity loss. These modifications can have an impact on species behavior, which can, in turn, impact their mortality.
