CD68-positive tumour associated macrophages, PD-L1 expression, and EBV latent infection in a high HIV-prevalent South African cohort of Hodgkin lymphoma patients by Antel, Katherine Rae

“…A high CD68 score was associated with lower median haemoglobin levels (9.4 vs 11.4 g/dL; p=0.02), platelet numbers (262 vs 424 cells ×109 /L; p=0.01), and lymphocyte numbers (0.99 vs 1.70 cells ×109 /L, p=0.01) and a trend towards advanced disease (international prognostic score ≥4; hazard ratio 2.4; confidence interval 0.89–6.47; p=0.08). …”

Analysis of the impact on phylogenetic inference of non-reversible nucleotide substitution models by Sianga, Rita

“…I consider two non-reversible nucleotide substitution models: (1) a 6-rate nonreversible model (NREV6) that is applicable to analyzing mutational processes in double-stranded genomes in that complementary substitutions occur at identical rates; and (2) a 12-rate non-reversible model (NREV12) that is applicable to analyzing mutational processes in single-stranded (ss) genomes in that all substitution types are free to occur at different rates. Using likelihood ratio and Akaike Information Criterion-based model tests, we show that, surprisingly, NREV12 provided a significantly better fit than the General Time Reversible (GTR) and NREV6 models to 21/31 dsRNA and 20/30 dsDNA datasets. …”
