Abstract Background: Liquid biopsy offers a non-invasive method for detection of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Tissue biopsy, the standard NHL detection, causes patient discomfort and increases risk infection. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by cells as particles with cargos nucleic acids proteins enclosed in lipid bilayer. The most common subtype is diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL). We analyzed plasma-derived EVs from DLBCL patients matching healthy controls microRNA (miRNA) protein to...

Poisson log-linear regression model is commonly used for analysing count data. Valid inference based on this can be drawn when the mean and variance of data are equal. However, in practice responses often much greater than responses, known as over-dispersion. Also, non-stationarity, i.e. non-constant mean, or/and variance, and/or covariance that not solely function elapsed time between over period study, another issue longitudinal study. It has been found ignoring such departures may arise...
