    Abstract Analytical challenges in obtaining high quality measurements of rare earth elements (REEs) from small pore fluid volumes have limited the application of REEs as deep fluid geochemical tracers. Using a recently developed analytical technique, we analyzed REEs from pore fluids collected from Sites U1325 and U1329, drilled on the northern Cascadia margin during the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 311, to investigate the REE behavior during diagenesis and their utility as tracers of deep fluid migration. These sites were selected because they represent contrasting settings on an accretionary margin: a ponded basin at the toe of the margin, and the landward Tofino Basin near the shelf's edge. REE concentrations of pore fluid in the methanogenic zone at Sites U1325 and U1329 correlate positively with concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and alkalinity. Fractionations across the REE series are driven by preferential complexation of the heavy REEs. Simultaneous enrichment of diagenetic indicators (DOC and alkalinity) and of REEs (in particular the heavy elements Ho to Lu), suggests that the heavy REEs are released during particulate organic carbon (POC) degradation and are subsequently chelated by DOC. REE concentrations are greater at Site U1325, a site where shorter residence times of POC in sulfate-bearing redox zones may enhance REE burial efficiency within sulfidic and methanogenic sediment zones where REE release ensues.
    Cross-plots of La concentrations versus Cl, Li and Sr delineate a distinct field for the deep fluids (z > 75 mbsf) at Site U1329, and indicate the presence of a fluid not observed at the other sites drilled on the Cascadia margin. Changes in REE patterns, the presence of a positive Eu anomaly, and other available geochemical data for this site suggest a complex hydrology and possible interaction with the igneous Crescent Terrane, located east of the drilled transect.

    Abstract Mixed urinary incontinence (UI) is common in women. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of anti-incontinence surgery in female patients with equally severe stress UI (SUI) and urge UI (UUI). All patients had equal severity of SUI and UUI. The postoperative cure rate was categorized into the cure group (CG) and failure group (FG). Postoperative satisfaction was categorized into the satisfaction group (SG) and the dissatisfaction group (DG). Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Ninety patients (SG, 73.3%; DG, 26.7%; CG, 93.3%; FG, 6.7%) were included in the study. In the univariate analysis, body mass index (BMI), total bladder capacity, and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) were significantly different between the SG and DG groups. Peak urinary flow, Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP), and OABSS were significantly different between the CG and FG groups. In the multivariate analysis, OABSS (P=0.001) and BMI (P=0.032) were independent predictors of postoperative satisfaction. VLPP (P=0.023) was the only independent factor associated with the postoperative cure rate. In equal severity of SUI and UUI, VLPP was found to be the only independent factor associated with postoperative cure rates. Higher VLPP values were associated with higher cure rates. BMI and OABSS were identified as independent predictors of postoperative satisfaction, with lower BMI and OABSS associated with higher postoperative satisfaction.

    Abstract This study aimed to identify the relationship between exercise-induced hypertension and carotid artery intima-media thickness in long-distance runners. Sixty healthy male runners aged 40 to 60 years were assigned to the following three groups based on resting blood pressure and maximal systolic blood pressure during a maximal exercise test: normal blood pressure response, exercise-induced hypertension, and complex hypertension. An exaggerated systolic blood pressure response was defined as a maximal systolic blood pressure+≥+210 mmHg during the maximal exercise test, while carotid intima-media thickness was measured using B-mode ultrasonography. The carotid intima-media thickness mean values were the highest in the complex hypertension group (0.72±0.11 mm), followed by exercise-induced hypertension (0.62±0.12 mm) and normal blood pressure groups (0.55±0.13 mm), with a significant difference between the groups (p+<+0.002). In linear regression analysis, the mean intima-media thickness was independently associated with age (p=0.015) and maximal systolic blood pressure (p=0.046) but not with resting systolic blood pressure. These results suggest that exercise-induced hypertension is associated with carotid intima-media thickness, a surrogate marker of cardiovascular disease, in long-distance runners. Therefore, evaluating the blood pressure response during exercise is important for the early detection of potential cardiovascular disease risks in long-distance runners.

    Abstract Increased awareness of negative psychological symptoms and the negative impact of the pandemic has led to a rising demand for wellness-related travel experiences. There is a need for research on tourists' experiential and reflective engagement in order to maximize positive outcomes such as overall satisfaction, positive WOM, and recommendations. These positive outcomes are crucial for attracting tourists and strengthening destinations' brands. As there are few empirical studies, research on the effects of engagement on satisfaction and behavioral intentions is necessary. This study aimed to examine the relationships between wellness motivation, engagement, satisfaction, and destination loyalty among wellness tourists. It also aimed to examine the mediating effects of two engagement factors, experiential and reflective engagement, between wellness motivation and positive outcomes. A total of 319 respondents were used for the analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted. The results found that wellness motivation is composed of six wellness motivation components, namely physical motivation, transcendence, relaxation, social motivation, self-esteem, and escape, each representing first-order factors. Wellness motivation is positively associated with reflective and experiential engagement. Engagement positively affects satisfaction and destination loyalty. This study provides several implications, theoretically and practically.

    Abstract Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is rare among athletes. However, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of SCD among those <35 years of age. Meanwhile, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary SCD cause among those ≥35 years of age. CAD-induced plaque ruptures are believed to be a significant cause of cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged individuals who participate in extreme long-distance running activities such as marathons. A total of 1970 articles related to EIH were identified using search terms. Out of these, 1946 studies were excluded for reasons such as arterial hypertension, exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension, the absence of exercise stress testing (EST), and a lack of relevance to EIH. The study analyzed 24 studies related to both long-distance runners with exercise-induced hypertension (EIH) and the general public. Among these, 11 studies were quasi-experimentally designed studies used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on long-distance runners with EIH. Additionally, 12 studies utilized cohort designs, and one study with a quasi-experimental design was conducted among the general population. Recent studies suggest that an imbalance between oxygen demand and supply due to ventricular hypertrophy may be the actual cause of cardiovascular disease, regardless of CAD. Exercising excessively over an extended period can reduce endothelial function and increase arterial stiffness, which in turn increases afterload and leads to an excessive increase in blood pressure during exercise. Exercise-induced hypertension (EIH), which increases the morbidity rate of resting hypertension and is a risk factor for cardio-cerebro-vascular diseases, is more prevalent in middle-aged long-distance runners than in runners from other age groups, and it increases the prevalence of critical arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias. EIH is associated with angiotensin II activity, and angiotensin II receptor blockers show promising effects in middle-aged runners. Further, guidelines for preventing excessive participation in races and restricting exercise intensity and frequency would be useful. This review identifies EIH as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and describes how EIH induces SCD.

    Abstract Purpose: This study investigated the potential heterogeneity by employment status in the relationship between body mass index (BMI) trajectory and cognitive function among an aging population.
    Methods: We analyzed 2010-2018 cohort data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging involving 4889 individuals aged over 45. We used statistical techniques of quadratic terms, interaction terms, time-invariant unobserved fixed effects, and time-lag effects to estimate the dynamic and interactive relationships among study variables.
    Results: The effect of BMI on cognitive function was heterogeneous based on employment status. For the nonemployed group, the impact of BMI on cognitive function showed an inverted U-shape with a turning point (BMI 25); a higher BMI (up to 25) was associated with higher cognitive function, but further increases beyond this threshold led to decreased cognitive function. For the employed group, however, the impact of BMI on cognitive function was nonsignificant. The nonlinear effect of BMI on cognitive function for the nonemployed group was robust across various subgroups and specifications.
    Conclusions: The findings highlight the risk of obesity (BMI ≥ 25) on cognitive decline, particularly among nonemployed individuals. This illuminates the critical role of labor activity in regulating the impact of BMI on cognitive function among an aging population.

    Abstract Background: Iron and anemia-related markers in long-distance runners have mostly been investigated following single distance marathons, with contradictory findings. This study compared iron and anemia-related markers according to marathon distance.
    Methods: Iron and anemia-related markers were analyzed from blood samples of healthy, adult male (aged ≥40-60 years) long-distance runners before and after ultramarathon races of 100 km (N.=14), 308 km (N.=14), and 622 km (N.=10). Fe, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), transferrin saturation, ferritin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (Hct) levels were analyzed.
    Results: On completion of all races, the iron levels and transferrin saturation decreased (P<0.05), while the ferritin and hs-CRP levels and WBC counts significantly increased (P<0.05). The Hb concentrations increased after the 100-km race (P<0.05), although the Hb levels and Hct decreased after the 308- and 622-km races (P<0.05). The highest-to-lowest levels of unsaturated iron-binding capacity were found following the 100-km, 622-km, and 308-km races, whereas those of the RBC count were found following the 622-km, 100-km, and 308-km races. Ferritin levels were significantly higher following the 308-km race than after the 100-km race (P<0.05); hs-CRP levels in the 308- and 622-km races were higher than those in the 100-km race.
    Conclusions: Ferritin levels increased due to inflammation following distance races, and runners experienced transient iron deficiency without anemia. However, the differences in iron and anemia-related markers according to the ultramarathon distance remain unclear.
