Journal Article
Loeff, F. C., Tsakok, T., Dijk, L., Hart, M. H., Duckworth, M., Baudry, D., …Warren, R. B. (2020). Clinical Impact of Antibodies against Ustekinumab in Psoriasis: An Observational, Cross-Sectional, Multicenter Study. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 140(11), 2129-2137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jid.2020.03.957

Ustekinumab is an effective treatment for psoriasis, but response varies between patients. The formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) may explain part of this variation by reducing the free ustekinumab level. Currently, published analyses of the cl...

Moral rights feature prominently, and are relied on substantially, in debates in bioethics. Conceptually, however, duties can perform the logical work of rights, but not vice versa, and reference to rights is therefore inessential. Normatively, right...
