The study of a species' thermal tolerance and vital rates responses provides useful metrics to characterize its vulnerability to ocean warming. Under prolonged thermal stress, plastic and adaptive processes can adjust the physiology of organisms. Yet it is uncertain whether the species can expand their upper thermal limits to cope with rapid and extreme changes in environmental temperature.

In particular, we analyzed the effect of achieving a radiologic response (RR) on long-term patient outcomes. We included patients with small-bowel CD who successfully started receiving anti-TNF (infliximab or adalimumab) therapy and achieved clinical remission between 2008 and 2015.
