Are liver transplant recipients at increased risk for nonlymphoid solid organ tumors?
With current immunosuppressive regimens, liver transplant patients do not appear to be at an increased risk for developing nonlymphoid solid organ tumors. However, longer follow-up will be necessary to confirm these results.
Our neuroimaging study provides evidence that the personality trait alexithymia has a modulating effect on automatic emotion processing in clinical depression. Our findings support the idea that alexithymia could be associated with functional deficits of the right hemisphere. Future research on the neural substrates of emotion processing in depression should assess and control alexithymia in their analyses.
