I like this by @EdBarnesMD @MaiaKayalMD @AmJGastro @AmCollegeGastro
🟢Pouchitis CDLP
🟢Ust vs aTNF
🟠no diff. (Table 2) - maybe Ust?
🔑CDLP response > pouchitis (Fig 1)
A recurring theme in this space
This is a tough study to do - I appreciate it.

On March 4, 1993, at the first ESPYS, Jim Valvano accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and delivered his iconic “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up” speech.
His words changed lives. His legacy created the V Foundation for Cancer Research. x.com/i/broadcasts/1BdGYZRwW…
