Strength Of Self-Adhesive Resin Cements To Shortened Zirconia Crowns With And Without An Additional Coat Of Adhesive, Abraham John
All ETDs from UAB
Self-adhesive cements have gained popularity due to their ease of manipulation as they do not require a separate etch, primer, or bonding agent to bond to the tooth or crown surfaces. However, the use of an adhesive bonding agent with a self-adhesive resin cement has been claimed to improve its bond strength. The objective of this study is to compare the retention bond strength of 2 self-adhesive cements on to the tooth surface with and without the use of bonding agents with a known control. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 extracted non-carious second premolar teeth were collected. The …
Bayesian Mediation Analyses For Zero-Inflated Data, Jinhong Cui
Bayesian Mediation Analyses For Zero-Inflated Data, Jinhong Cui
All ETDs from UAB
Mediation analysis is a fundamental tool in causal inference, enabling researchers to disentangle the pathways through which an exposure affects an outcome via intermediate variables (mediators). It has been widely applied in social sciences, psychology, and healthcare-related studies. Traditionally, mediation analysis has been conducted within the linear structural equation modeling (LSEM) framework. However, recent advances have shifted attention toward the counterfactual framework due to its flexibility in defining causal effects and its capacity to accommodate non-linear relationships, parametric and non-parametric models. Building on this foundation, methodological developments in mediation analysis have expanded to address more complex data structures, such as …
Those Who Strayed: Quaker Abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier, And The Grimké Sisters Who Broke From The Society Of Friends To Actively Oppose Slavery In The Antebellum Era, David Mark Ledlow
All ETDs from UAB
The adoption of quietist theology by the Quaker community in the early nineteenth century created a divide between Quakers and their abolitionist movement due to the differing methods to achieve an end to slavery. Quaker society began to adopt a stance that avoided all controversies and employed conservative actions to combat slavery while abolitionist began to speak out more against the evils of slavery regardless of any controversy. This divided left Quaker abolitionist like John Greenleaf Whittier and the Grimké sisters with the choice to distance themselves from the Society of Friends or the abolitionist movement. Whittier and the Grimké …

Influence Of Transportation Access And Geographic Distance On Retention And Completion In Substance Use Treatment: A Retrospective Study Of In-Person And Telehealth Modalities, Yasemin Tanik Morgan
All ETDs from UAB
Substance use disorder (SUD) remains a public health concern in the United States. Low-income and underserved populations continue to face barriers to accessing effective treatment. The rapid expansion of telehealth has been proposed as a solution to barriers such as geographic distance and transportation. However, it is unclear whether telehealth effectively addresses these barriers or how access-related factors influence treatment outcomes across care modalities. This retrospective cohort study, guided by the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) framework, evaluated the impact of treatment modality, transportation access, and geographic distance on retention and completion in a publicly funded Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) …

Psychedelics And Psychosis: An Interdisciplinary Re-Examination, Haley Maria Dourron
All ETDs from UAB
Psychedelics have long been described as potential drug models of psychosis. There is also concern that psychedelics might worsen psychotic symptoms in individuals with a history of psychotic disorders. This dissertation examines the overlap between psychedelic-induced states and non-affective psychotic disorders (NAPD) from both subjective and neurological perspectives, as well as the perceived impact of psychedelic use in people with a history of NAPD. Nineteen people with a history of NAPD who had used psychedelics were interviewed about their experiences. Participants generally described psychedelic and psychotic experiences as distinct, though both affected similar experiential domains, such as sensory alterations. Altered …

Policy Surveillance Of Decommissioning And Decontamination Regulations, Joshua Gary Collins
All ETDs from UAB
Policy surveillance is an analytical collection and study of regulatory action within the public health field. Due to the vastness of the United States regulatory system, large amounts of time and effort are needed for policy surveillance to be accomplished. When considering nuclear decommissioning policies, all state and local regulations should start with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) requirements, however states have the freedom to increase stringency. Policy surveillance allows for both a convenient and approachable way to reference important regulations in a timely manner while also functioning as a method to identify and manage any inconsistencies found between the …

Murder On The Axonal Express: Synucleinopathy Disruption Of 14-3-3 Protein-Protein Interactions Impairs Axonal Trafficking, Frank Sanders Pair
All ETDs from UAB
14-3-3s are a family of proteins highly expressed in the brain. These proteins exert their functions mainly through protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and have thousands of binding partners. 14-3-3s have been shown to be present in pro-teinaceous aggregates of alpha-synuclein (αsyn), a pathological hallmark of synucleinopathies. This includes such diseases as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). 14-3-3 proteins, particularly the 14-3-3θ isoform, have been shown to be protective in multiple synucleinopathy models. However, reduced soluble levels of 14-3-3s and increased phosphorylation of 14-3-3θ at S232 observed in synucleinopathies like DLB may impair their protec-tive ability, potentially due …

Origin And Differentiation Of Uterine Natural Killer Cells, Morgan Elizabeth-Carolyn Greene
All ETDs from UAB
Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are specialized tissue-resident lymphocytes that are essential for successful pregnancy, yet the molecular pathways governing their development remain poorly defined. This knowledge gap hinders our ability to understand and treat immunological complications of pregnancy, such as recurrent pregnancy loss and pre-eclampsia. This dissertation addresses the fundamental question of how human uNK cells arise and differentiate, first within the non-pregnant endometrium and subsequently within the decidua of early pregnancy. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of matched human blood and endometrial samples, we first delineate the developmental trajectory of endometrial NK (eNK) cells. We demonstrate that eNK cells …

Evaluating Relative Value Units And Its Alternatives Inradiology, Alfred Matthew Dewey
All ETDs from UAB
ABSTRACT Radiologist productivity in the United States is traditionally measured by thework Relative Value Unit (wRVU). However, wRVUs fail to capture several criticalaspects of radiologic work, including study complexity, patient characteristics, andfacility factors. This study evaluated the statistical significance of wRVUs as a measureof productivity and proposes an alternative model grounded in ascribable time—themeasurable duration a radiologist takes to interpret and report a study.A comprehensive literature review highlighted the inadequacy of wRVUs inaccounting for technological advances, case complexity, and workflow differences.Applying contingency theory as the guiding framework, this study posited that radiologyproductivity must be tailored to institutional and contextual variability. …

Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and abnormalities in emotional expression, social interaction, and motivation. Cognitive deficits and alterations in perception are core features of psychosis spectrum disorders, though the neurobiological bases of these impairments are not thoroughly understood. Examination of the structures responsible for cognition, along with how their connectivity and neurochemistry are altered in psychosis, is crucial to understanding and treating schizophrenia. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and plays a crucial role in the regulation of neuronal activity. Evidence from animal models and postmortem …
