- An 18-year-old male with chronic myeloid leukemia underwent stem cell transplantation but was readmitted 132 days later with stomach lesions, diagnosed as granulocytic sarcoma.

- The patient was put on imatinib mesylate and showed improvement, with no recurrence of leukemia observed after 36 months.
Background/aims: The objective of the present study was to measure gastric emptying time of solids and semisolids in dyspeptic individuals with cholecystolithiasis before and 6 months after cholecystectomy in order to determine whether cholecystectomy interferes with gastric emptying.
Methodology: A prospective, self-pairing study was conducted on 29 patients selected according to appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria. Gastric emptying time of solids and semisolids was determined before and six months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by the 13C-octanoic acid and 13C-acetate breath tests, respectively.
