This study retrospectively analyzed 31 postmenopausal women treated with laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometriosis, finding radical surgery critical for diagnosis and treatment due to atypical presentation.

This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of standardized traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for 78 patients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease who had failed proton pump inhibitor therapy. Using a retrospective design based on six types of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation, researchers assessed symptom improvement alongside objective measures like high-resolution esophageal manometry and 24-hour pH monitoring over four weeks. The results indicated an overall effective symptom remission rate of 85.8%, with significant improvements in lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure and reflux frequency, although global acid exposure metrics such as the DeMeester score did not change significantly. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
