Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) are two distinct rheumatological disorders with different pathophysiology. The coexistence of SLE and SpA is very rare and presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present a case of a 28-year-old male who initially presented with inflammatory back pain and characteristic radiologic features, leading to a diagnosis of axial SpA. Subsequently, he developed malar rashes, discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), and renal involvement. The anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) test by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) was positive, with multiple antibody specificities on immunoblot. The overlap of SpA and SLE is rare, and a literature review identified only a few case reports. This case highlights the need for heightened clinical awareness and further research into the overlapping mechanisms of SLE and SpA, including potential genetic and immunological factors.

Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...

Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...
