Purpose: We explored factors affecting gastric emptying in neurologically impaired (NI) patients using the C-acetate breath test.
Methods: Twenty-four NI patients were classified by the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which was treated by fundoplication plus gastrostomy, or the absence of GERD, which was treated by gastrostomy alone, along with gastric malposition involving cascade stomach and organoaxial gastric volvulus (OGV). Gastric emptying parameters (GEPs), which were the emptying half time (T , minute), the lag phase time (T , minute), and the gastric emptying coefficient (GEC), were measured before and after surgery.

Background/aim: Based on gastric shape, patients with gastric cancer can be divided into storage (hook-shaped and ptotic stomach) and reverse outflow (steer-horn and cascade stomach) groups. In patients with gastric cancer, postoperative loss of lean body mass (LBM) is associated with a poor prognosis. This study investigated the influence of preoperative gastric shape on LBM loss 1 month after curative distal gastrectomy.

A 56-year-old female patient who had involuntary weight loss underwent F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for detection of malignancy. The scan revealed non-metabolic soft tissue density in the posterior wall of the stomach requiring endoscopy. Endoscopical examination was performed 9 days after PET/CT and cascade stomach was detected.
