Many cohort studies in survival analysis have imbedded in them subcohorts consisting of incident cases and prevalent cases. Instead of analysing the data from the incident and prevalent cohorts alone, there are surely advantages to combining the data from these two subcohorts. In this paper, we discuss a survival function nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) using both length-biased right-censored prevalent cohort data and right-censored incident cohort data.

We then present a study with 15 observers (expert clinicians) evaluating the effect of three principal forms of viewpoint control (egocentric-egomotion, egocentric-tethered, and client-centric) on the observer's assessment of driving tasks in a virtual environment (VE).
Background: VR allows for the simulation and assessment of real-world tasks in a controlled, safe, and repeatable environment.

Article Synopsis
- Research focused on blocking macrophage-colony stimulating factor (CSF1) signaling to see if it could relieve neuropathic pain, using a selective CSF1 receptor inhibitor called PLX5622.
- Results showed that treating with PLX5622 significantly reduced pain behaviors and the number of inflammatory M1-like macrophages, while also lowering levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and microglia activation in the spinal cord.
