Abstract
Beetles (Coleoptera) are known to constitute forensic evidence in medico-legal investigations as their presence can be used to date human remains in almost all decomposition stages. Many forensic studies focus on the successional colonization pattern of flies (Diptera); however, beetles have not so far been studied extensively for this aspect. A beetle of the genus Afromorgus Scholtz, 1986, A. chinensis (Boheman, 1858) (Scarabaeoidea: Trogidae), was found beneath a late decaying rabbit carcass at Paya Indah Wetland, Dengkil, Malaysia, for the first time. Both genus and species are already known to occur in Malaysia from literature.

Abstract
Myometrial biopsies were taken on 45 women less than 40 years old either by laparoscopy or laparotomy, searching for adenomyosis "in vivo". A positive response of 5 cases (11.11%) may prove adenomyosis to affect significantly young women too and not to be closely connected with the usually reported pathogenetic factors.
