Bile Acid Diarrhea (BAD) is a common cause of chronic diarrhea, often accompanied by urgency, occasional fecal incontinence, abdominal pain, and fatigue. A nationwide survey has shown limited awareness of BAD within the Italian medical community, prompting a panel of experts to develop a Position Paper that outlines the most practical and cost-saving diagnostic investigations and treatments for this frequently overlooked condition. The document provides an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and classification of the different types of Bile Acid Diarrhea (BAD).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the real-world effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), focusing on acute toxicity and 90-day mortality rates among 7,279 patients treated between 2017 and 2021.
  • - Acute toxicity occurred in 3.8% of patients, while 90-day mortality was at 1.7%, with certain factors like age, sex, and lung function impacting these outcomes.
  • - The findings suggest that SBRT has a low rate of acute toxicity and acceptable mortality, with developed prediction models aiding in identifying patients at higher risk for adverse effects.
