ABSTRACT
Abstract: We present a case of 32-year-old patient with a history of rheumatic feverdiagnosed at the age of eighteen. Thirteen years later, the patient developed malar rash and bilateral inflammatory joint pain. The laboratory results revealed lymphopenia and biological inflammatory syndrome. The patient tested positive for antinuclear antibodies and anti-dsDNA. Thus, the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was established. The association of these two inflammatory diseases is due to an uncommun presentation of overlap syndrome.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Every society has the interest to preserve its cultural heritage for posterity. The xylophone which is one of the prominent instruments used to produce music in the Grassfields of Cameroon is an important heritage of this people. It is used in most traditional dances both sacred and profane. This instrument has undergone transformation and is still being transformed. Although the history of the xylophone is difficult to trace, it has evolved from simple bars made from special wood placed on bananas or plantain stems to complex, well carved bars and built in boxes and others on long wooden logs. The production and manipulation of this musical instrument was reserved for the nobility who had the prerogative to own masquerades “jujus.” This knowledge was usually transmitted from father to son(s) after so many years of apprenticeship. Today, the ownership of the juju is open to all and due to this reason; the sacredness of this invaluable object is slowly dying out. The production of xylophones is done with any available wood with many of them built to match changing times. This paper explores how the xylophone has evolved over time in the Grassfields of Cameroon and the significance of the xylophone in the culture of the Grassfielders. With information got from participation in traditional dances in which the xylophones are used and interviews with notables and juju owners, I found out that the production of xylophones used to be a part of most royal settings because demonstrated the political, social and religious organisation of Grassfields kingdoms. These xylophones gradually became a major musical instrument in some Christian churches.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Background: The lifetime risk of hysterectomies ranges from 20% to 35%1-3. With the surge of medicolegal law suits, risk of premature surgical menopause after hysterectomy, surgical and anaesthetic risks involved and availability of alternative noninvasive management options, every effort should be made to avoid hysterectomy wherever possible. Clinico-pathological audit of hysterectomies can help us define and improve our standards of diagnosis and justification of the hysterectomies performed. Objective: To explore the pre-operative diagnosis, surgery performed and histopathological findings in Shaheed Tazuddin Ahmad Medical College & Hospital, Gazipur, Bangladesh. Methods: The Study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh to find out the common indications of hysterectomy. 100 cases were randomly selected for the study whose common indication of hysterectomy. Clinical examination and evaluation were done from October 2004 to February 2005. Other necessary investigations were done if clinically indicated and to prepare the patient for anesthesia. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Results: Majority of cases who underwent hysterectomy were 31-40 years (52%) of age. Out of 100 cases most of patients (70%) underwent abdominal hysterectomy and only 30 (30%) cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy. Out of 33 cases, clinically diagnosed as leiomyoma of the uterus histopathology revealed leiomyoma in 24 cases. In uncomplicated abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy, the duration of surgery was almost same, vaginal hysterectomies needs slightly longer time. Average hospital stay after operation was same. Conclusion: There were significantly fewer hysterectomies for malignancy and a higher rate of oophrectomies with hysterectomy in a tertiary care hospital.

Abstract: Psoriasis is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory skin disease. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a connective tissue disorder with variable clinical features ranging from mild joint and skin involvement to life-threatening renal, hematologic, or central nervous system involvement. Despite their high frequency in our population, their coexistence is uncommon, reported only in few case reports, raising hypotheses about shared pathogenetic mechanisms. We report a 43-year-old female with psoriasisaccompanied by SLE.
