Background And Aims: Remote endoscopy can improve diagnostic efficiency of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases for patients in remote areas. A novel remote magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) system based on a 5G network was developed for real-time remote GI examinations. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the 5G-based remote MCE for examination of the stomach and small bowel.
Methods: This was a prospective, nonrandomized, comparative study. Consecutive participants enrolled in the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan underwent remote MCE examinations performed by an endoscopist located in Changhai Hospital. Consecutive participants enrolled in Changhai Hospital underwent conventional MCE examinations performed by the same endoscopist. The main outcomes included the complete visualization rate of the stomach and small bowel, safety assessment and network latency time of remote MCE examinations.
Results: From March 2021 to June 2021, 20 participants in each group were enrolled. The complete visualization rate of the stomach and small bowel was 100% in both groups (p > 0.999) without any adverse event. The median network latency time of remote MCE group was 19.948 ms. Gastric examination time (8.96 vs. 8.92 min, p = 0.234), maneuverability (15.00 vs. 15.00, p = 0.317), image quality (1.00 vs. 1.00, p > 0.999) and diagnostic yields in the stomach and small bowel (55% vs. 30%, 5% vs. 0%, both p > 0.05) were comparable between remote and conventional MCE groups. All participants in remote MCE group considered remote MCE acceptable and necessary.
Conclusions: 5G-based remote MCE was a feasible and safe method for viewing the stomach and small bowel.

Severe cold-water bleaching of a deep-water reef underscores future challenges for Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems.

Elevated sea surface temperatures are causing an increase in coral bleaching events worldwide, and represent an existential threat to coral reefs. Early studies of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) highlighted their potential as thermal refuges for shallow-water coral species in the face of predicted 21 century warming. However, recent genetic evidence implies that limited ecological connectivity between shallow- and deep-water coral communities inhibits their effectiveness as refugia; instead MCEs host distinct endemic communities that are ecologically significant in and of themselves.

The strategic reduction and remediation of degraded land is a global environmental priority. This is a particular priority in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area, Australia, where gully erosion a significant contributor to land degradation and water quality deterioration. Urgent action through the prioritisation and remediation of gully erosion sites is imperative to safeguard this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Fourteen pairs of twins were selected on the basis of their high scores on The Exceptional Experiences Questionnaire (EEQ), which documents the frequency and intensity of telepathic and synchronistic experiences amongst twins. The twins alternated in the role of sender in which they were exposed to a surprise or shock stimulus and in the role of receiver in which their electrodermal activity (EDA) was monitored. Sender and receiver were placed in laboratory rooms at remote ends of a building separated by distance and barriers ensuring sensory isolation.
