Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of the Buford complex and to investigate its association with labral pathologies (superior labrum anterior-posterior [SLAP] lesion and anterior, posterior, or multidirectional instability) using a very large patient database. Furthermore, the prevalence of the Buford complex in patients without any labral pathology was also determined.
Methods: A total of 3129 consecutive shoulder arthroscopy procedures were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of the Buford complex and coexisting labral pathologies. The relationships between the Buford complex and SLAP lesions, as well as instability, were evaluated statistically.
Results: The Buford complex was observed in 83 shoulders (2.65%). SLAP lesions were significantly more frequent in patients with the Buford complex than in those without it (81.9% vs. 33.1%, P < .001) Shoulders with the Buford complex presented a lower frequency of anterior instability (10.8% vs. 19.3%, P = .052) and a higher frequency of posterior instability (1.2% vs. 0.9%, P = .789). The prevalence of the Buford complex in patients with and without labral pathologies was 4.6% and 0.3%, respectively (P < .001).
Conclusions: This study, to our knowledge, includes the largest cohort in the literature reporting the prevalence of the Buford complex (2.65%). In the 1461 patients without labral tears or multidirectional instability, the prevalence of the Buford complex was 0.3%. This result suggests that the real prevalence of the Buford complex might be lower than that reported previously. In addition to the aforementioned conclusions, the identification of the Buford complex should prompt a thorough evaluation for concomitant SLAP lesions.

Factors associated with the use of combined nutritional complementary and alternative medicine among southern US older adults: results from the study of aging II.

Background: Older adults use nutritional complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to reduce the risk of (or treat) non-communicable conditions and diet deficiencies. While prior research has explored the individual use of dietary supplements, vitamins, and minerals among older adults, few studies have examined factors influencing the combined use of these modalities, especially among Southern, older adults in the United States.
Methods: Data were extracted from 419 participants from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Study of Aging II, a population-based longitudinal study of mobility among community-dwelling older adults.
The 2022 Fusarium head blight outbreak in Ethiopia: Emerging pathogens, mixed mycotoxins, and interspecies interactions.

As Ethiopia pushes towards self-sufficiency in wheat production, it has escaped large outbreaks of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a disease that threatens wheat production globally. However, in 2022, FHB incidences in Ethiopia rose to 80%, with some areas experiencing 100% disease severity. Here we provide insights into the etiology of this disease outbreak and point towards future directions to mitigate the emerging threat of FHB on a global scale.

Metal exposure is a potential risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Increasing evidence suggests that elevated levels of DNA damage are present in both familial (fALS) and sporadic (sALS) forms of ALS, characterized by the selective loss of motor neurons in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. However, identifying and differentiating initial biomarkers of DNA damage response (DDR) in both forms of ALS remains unclear.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the arthroscopically demonstrated Buford complex (BC) and scapular morphology in patients with anterior shoulder instability (ASI) and rotator cuff tears (RCT). We hypothesized that there may be a relationship between BC and scapular morphology.
Material And Methods: 1947 consecutive shoulder arthroscopy cases performed between 2015 and 2023 were retrospectively evaluated.

The Buford complex, defined as a cord-like middle glenohumeral ligament with an absence of the anterosuperior labrum, is the rarest anatomical labral variant of the shoulder and occurs in 1.5% to 6.5% of the general adult population.
