Netchoice, Regulatory Competition, And The Real Battle Behind Social Media Regulations, Tao Huang, Assistant Professor Of Law
Netchoice, Regulatory Competition, And The Real Battle Behind Social Media Regulations, Tao Huang, Assistant Professor Of Law
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Regulating online social media platforms has been a fiercely debated issue for years. The NetChoice case decided by the US Supreme Court 2023 Term arises from a circuit split regarding Florida and Texas laws that regulate social media content moderation. Most discussions on regulation of social media content moderation have focused on whether social media platforms are speakers (editors) or carriers (conduits), and whether their moderation practice constitutes editorial judgment (i.e., protected speech). This Article argues that this framing of the debate ignores another more important role of social media platforms—as regulators. Platforms, when they enact and enforce their content …
Sensory Processing And Anxiety In Bipolar Disorder, Lyric Arvizu
Sensory Processing And Anxiety In Bipolar Disorder, Lyric Arvizu
Graduate Theses/Dissertations
Past research suggests that individuals with bipolar disorder often experience differences in sensory gating and sensory processing, and similar patterns have been observed in anxiety disorders. Given that anxiety is highly comorbid with bipolar disorder, the present study examined how these conditions relate to self-reported sensory processing differences. A total of 132 participants (88 female), including 43 with bipolar disorder, were included in the final sample. Anxiety symptomatology was measured via the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Form Y. Sensory processing questionnaires included the Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) and the Adult Sensory Processing Scale (ASPS). Correlations, t-tests, a multivariate analysis of …

Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare and challenging complication of anti-resorptive therapy. This review addresses the critical issue of risk management in patients with osteoporosis who require dentoalveolar surgery while undergoing anti-resorptive therapy. Dental practitioners should be aware of these risks; however, they should not refuse treatment based solely on them. This review discusses the risks through five major factors: invasive dentoalveolar surgeries, concomitant oral infection, type of medication, duration of medication, and preoperative drug discontinuation. Additionally, we discussed the local factors associated with dental practices. Our review underscored the importance of personalized risk assessment, considering …

Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract Background/purpose Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) allows for the customization of implant abutments as an alternative to prefabricated options. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal bone levels of dental implants using CAD/CAM customized abutments (CA) versus prefabricated abutments (PA) over a five-year follow-up period. Materials and methods Implants were divided into two groups based on abutment type: CA and PA. Marginal bone level (MBL), changes in MBL and bone-to-implant contact ratio (BIC), were assessed from baseline to 5 years post-prosthetics loading. Additionally, the study analyzed based on dental arches, opposing structure types, and the distance from …

Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract Background/Purpose Betel quid chewing is a major risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), largely due to arecoline, a key alkaloid. Hypoxia, common in the tumor microenvironment, also influences cancer progression. This study investigated the combined effects of arecoline and hypoxia on proliferation, migration, and protein expression in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-25) cells, focusing on the TGF-β1 signaling pathway and type I collagen production. Materials and methods SCC-25 cells were treated with arecoline and incubated for 24 h under normoxia or hypoxia. Cytotoxicity assays and Western blotting were performed to assess cell viability and protein expression. Results …

Segmentanytooth: An Open-Source Deep Learning Framework For Tooth Enumeration And Segmentation In Intraoral Photos, Ming-Lun Hsu, Khoa Nguyen, Hung Hoang, Hong Doan, Khai Dao, Ding-Han Wang
Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract Background/purpose Preventive dentistry is essential for maintaining public oral health, but inequalities in dental care, especially in underserved areas, remain a significant challenge. Image-based dental analysis, using intraoral photographs, offers a practical and scalable approach to bridge this gap. In this context, we developed SegmentAnyTooth, an open-source deep learning framework that solves the critical first step by enabling automated tooth enumeration and segmentation across five standard intraoral views: upper occlusal, lower occlusal, frontal, right lateral, and left lateral. This tool lays the groundwork for advanced applications, reducing reliance on limited professional resources and enhancing access to preventive dental care. …

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids) Regimens Enhance Synergistic Selective Anticancer Efficacy Of Chemotherapeutic Agents On Cultured Cells, Shoei-Yn Lin-Shiau, Ming-Yung Chou
Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract Background/purpose Cancer incidences are rising, presenting challenges due to severe side effects and resistance of chemotherapeutic agents. To address these issues, we propose a strategy involving pharmaceutical compositions of PTM (Phytopolyphenols, Targeting drugs, Metals) regimens. This study aimed to investigate NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)-PTM regimens enhancing anticancer selectivity and efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents on cultured cancer cells. Materials and methods Effects of drugs on proliferation of cultured cancer cells and pathogens was assessed using MTT assay and optical density at 600 nm (OD600) respectively. Synergistic effects of drug combinations were determined using combination index and efficacy index. ATPase activity …

Contemporary Approaches To Orthodontic Treatment In Complex Mixed Dentition Cases: A Comparison Of Clear Aligners And Traditional Fixed Appliances, Hsin-Chung Cheng, Daniel Chen, Pyi Win
Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract This study examined orthodontic treatment strategies for patients in the mixed dentition phase, with a focus on the advantages and limitations of clear aligners and traditional fixed appliances in addressing complex tooth movements. Herein, three cases were reported to illustrate the complementary strengths of these treatment modalities. In Case 1, presurgical orthodontics for a patient with a cleft lip and palate was performed using clear aligners, resulting in successful rotation correction and optimal alignment. In Case 2, a noninvasive approach involving a transpalatal arch and fixed appliances was used to manage a high labially impacted central incisor without the …

Effect Of Deep Pressure Input On Autonomic Regulation During Wisdom Tooth Extraction: From Waiting Room To Surgery, Hsin-Yung Chen, Hsiang Yang, Ching-En Men, Chih-Hui Shen, Hsin-Ming Chen
Effect Of Deep Pressure Input On Autonomic Regulation During Wisdom Tooth Extraction: From Waiting Room To Surgery, Hsin-Yung Chen, Hsiang Yang, Ching-En Men, Chih-Hui Shen, Hsin-Ming Chen
Journal of Dental Sciences
Abstract Background and purpose Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure associated with heightened anxiety, particularly during the waiting period before treatment. This stress response is regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), comprising the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which induces excitatory responses, and the parasympathetic nervous system (PsNS), which promotes relaxation. Deep pressure input, delivered through weighted vests and blankets, has been shown to shift ANS dominance from the SNS to the PsNS, facilitating stress reduction. This study investigated the effects of deep pressure input on ANS modulation using a weighted vest during the waiting phase and a weighted …
