In the course of this study, a comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and instrumental prospective examination was conducted on 113 patients aged 30 to 50 years (mean age 42,0±1,8 years) with combined adenomyosis and uterine fibroids. These patients formed the main study group. The patients in the main group were divided into two subgroups depending on the form of adenomyosis: Group 1 - diffuse form (60 women) and Group 2 - nodular form (53 women). The control group consisted of 24 relatively healthy women of reproductive age, with regular ovulatory menstrual cycles and no history of gynecological diseases. All patients had 2D (two-dimensional) transvaginal ultrasound examination. Based on indications, 3D transvaginal ultrasound of the pelvic organs was performed. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using commonly used methods of parametric and non-parametric statistics on a personal computer with the standard software package for applied statistical analysis (Statistica for Windows v.6.0). The critical level of significance for the null statistical hypothesis was set at 0.05.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The ultrasound data in the patients showed that the most common combination was diffuse adenomyosis with uterine fibroids - in 60 (56.60±4.8%, p&lt;0.01) patients, compared to the nodular form of adenomyosis with uterine fibroids - in 53 (44.93±4.6%) patients. The study of the localization of fibroid nodes in combination with different forms of adenomyosis revealed that the most common combination was diffuse adenomyosis with intramural fibroid nodes (4-type according to FIGO) - in 64 (60.4%) patients. The next most common combination was diffuse adenomyosis with intramural- subserosal (5-type according to FIGO) fibroid nodes - in 18 (16.9%) patients. In cases of nodular forms of adenomyosis, the combination with intramural fibroid nodes (i.e., 4-type according to FIGO) was most common - in 8 (7.5%) and 5 (4.7%) patients, respectively. In rare cases, 0-type (submucosal fibroid on a stalk) was found - in 1 (0.9%) patient, and 2-type (intramural fibroid protruding into the uterine cavity less than 50%) - in 2 (1.9%) patients. The number of nodes (multiple/single nodes) in combination with different forms of adenomyosis was also studied.

These issues can negatively impact on overall quality of life, leading to both aesthetic and functional concerns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aim of the study: &lt;/strong&gt;This research compares the oral health of individuals in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) with those starting MMT. It examines the correlation between methadone use, illicit drug use, and oral health, focusing on the condition of supportive structures for future prosthetic restorations. The study also explores how prosthodontic interventions can improve oral health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study was conducted at the Center for Mental Health and Prevention of Addiction in Tbilisi, Georgia, involving 276 patients (138 initiating Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) for the first time and 138 MMT beneficiaries with at least six months of treatment). Stratified random sampling was used based on the duration of opioid addiction and length of MMT enrollment. A questionnaire was used to assess participants' dental health perceptions, oral hygiene habits, and experiences with prosthetic treatments. A dental chart was employed, including the Kennedy Classification, Prosthetic Diagnostic Index (PDI), Eichner Index, and Robert H. Griffiths' guidelines for temporomandibular disorder assessment. Additionally, the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S), DMFT index, Dental Health Index (DHI), and Periodontal Index were used to evaluate overall oral health and supportive structures for future prosthetic treatment. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23, with statistical significance set at p&lt;0.05. Participants provided informed consent in accordance with ethical guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Group I (first-time MMT) showed higher caries experience (DMFT &gt;13.9) compared to Group II (MMT beneficiaries), with 89.1% vs. 71.7%, respectively (p=0.001). Poor oral hygiene was observed more in Group I (24.6%) than Group II (17%) (p=0.000). The PDI revealed severely compromised edentulous areas in 32.6% of Group I and 39.1% of Group II (p=0.0492). Tooth mobility was more common in Group I (71.7%) vs. Group II (40.6%) (p=0.000). The remaining roots were found in 50% of Group I and 30.4% of Group II (p=0.001). Dry mouth complaints were higher in Group I (67.4%) vs. Group II (50.5%) (p=0.003). Significant edentulism and dissatisfaction with dentures were reported, especially in Group I. However, 54.3% of Group I felt their oral health stabilized with MMT (p=0.000).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;As a result, we can conclude that both groups have a high need for prosthetic rehabilitation.

The incidence of endosalpingiosis exceeds that of other diseases affecting female tissues. As endosalpingiosis is a benign tumor, several women with endosalpingiosis are asymptomatic. Endosalpingiosis is a lesion characterized by the presence of ectopic glandular tissues lined with epithelium similar to the tubal-type epithelium. Therefore, the development of endosalpingiosis is frequently incidentally discovered during abdominal surgery for other diseases. A definitive diagnosis of endosalpingiosis is made by pathological diagnosis and pathological findings on the surgically removed tissue. In some cases, glandular structures comprising a single layer of columnar to cuboidal epithelial cells are observed in surgically removed tissues of the uterine body, bilateral peritoneal tissues, omental tissues, and even lymph node tissues. Recently, our medical staff has experienced cases of endosalpingiosis with a history of breast cancer, which rarely has clinically significant consequences. Elucidating the mechanism of endosalpingiosis will facilitate understanding of the origin of primary tumors in the ovaries and peritoneum. Furthermore, to prevent unnecessary additional surgical treatments (e.g., chemotherapy), differentiating endosalpingiosis from ovarian borderline (low-grade) tumors or dissemination of malignant tumors and from endosalpingiosis and primary peritoneal mesothelioma or serous tumors is essential.
