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.

Woodchip bioreactor (WBR) is a promising technology for the removal of nitrate from agricultural drainage, although the performance of WBRs is dependent on the decomposition of lignocellulosic biomass and the carbon availability for microbial denitrification. Fungal species are more efficient than bacterial counterparts in driving wood decomposition; however, little is known about the fungal community structure and functions in saturated WBRs. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of the mycobiome in field-scale, constantly saturated WBRs located in Willmar, Minnesota, USA.

Background: Microcystins are an emergent public health problem. These toxins are secondary metabolites of harmful cyanobacterial blooms, with blooms becoming more prevalent with eutrophication of water. Exposure to microcystins can result in sickness, liver damage, and even death.

Article Synopsis
- Ageing is a growing global concern, with projections that by 2030, one in six people will be 60 or older, highlighting the need to understand the biological processes and healthcare challenges associated with ageing.
- The World Health Organization defines intrinsic capacity (IC) as the collective physical and mental abilities of an individual, with five vital components: locomotion, cognition, psychological, sensory, and vitality capacity (VC).
- The review emphasizes the benefits of exercise in maintaining VC among older adults, discussing its positive effects on energy metabolism, neuromuscular function, immune response, mitochondrial health, and gene methylation, while also identifying potential areas for future research and interventions.

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic and carcinogenic pollutant that poses significant risks to living organisms and the environment, as it is absorbed by the plant roots and accumulates in different parts of crop during its production. A promising sustainable strategy to counteract these threats to use calcium oxide nanoparticles (CaO-NPs) as soil supplements in fodder crops. This approach has shown notable morpho-physiological and biochemical improvements under metal toxicity conditions.

Objective: To characterize the participant demographics in the Pooled Resource Open-Access ALS Clinical Trials (PRO-ACT) database compared with the web-portal National Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Registry (the Registry).
Methods: Demographics and ALS symptom information were compared between the self-reported registrant data in the Registry web portal (2010-2021) and the latest available PRO-ACT data (updated August 2022), which is a collection of clinical trials data.
Results: Greater percentages of younger (≤ 59 years old) but smaller percentages of older (60 + years old) participants were represented in PRO-ACT compared to Registry.
