Article Abstract
Background: Although middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) variations have been shown in the literature, their clinical effect and relationship with intra-articular pathologies have yet to be revealed, except for the Buford complex. This study was designed to classify MGHL and to reveal its relationship with clinical pathologies.
Methods: A total of 843 consecutive shoulder arthroscopies were evaluated retrospectively, and a classification system was proposed for MGHL with regard to its structure and its relation to the anterior labrum. The associations of each MGHL type with superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions, subscapularis tears, and anterior instability were investigated.
Results: MGHL variations were grouped into 6 types according to the classification. A significant difference in favor of type 6 MGHL (Buford complex) was observed in the distribution of SLAP lesions (P < .001). There was no significant difference between MGHL types and the distribution of anterior instability history (P = .131) and subscapularis tears (P = .324).
Conclusion: SLAP lesions accompany type 6 MGHLs (Buford complex) significantly more frequently than other types. There is also a negative relation between the anterior instability and thicker MGHL variants.

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

Department of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, United States.
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.

USDA-ARS Cereal Disease Laboratory, SAINT PAUL, Minnesota, United States;
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.
