Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and durability of temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment of the nasal valve in patients with severe or extreme nasal airway obstruction (NAO).
Study Design: A long-term, prospective, multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Sixteen otolaryngologic clinics and academic centers.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) face increasingly stringent demands as their application expands into new areas, including extreme temperatures and fast charging. To meet these demands, the electrolyte should enable fast lithium-ion transport and form stable interphases on electrodes simultaneously. In practice, however, improving one aspect often compromises another.

We evaluated a novel, multipoint, impedance-controlled, radiofrequency ablation device for the treatment of chronic rhinitis. This was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study of posterior nasal nerve ablation in adults with chronic rhinitis.
