Twelve-month outcomes following temperature-controlled radiofrequency treatment of the septal swell body for nasal airway obstruction.

Background: Improved nasal airway obstruction (NAO) symptoms were reported at 3 months following temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment of the septal swell body (SSB). This report provides results from assessments of the long-term safety and efficacy of TCRF treatment of SSB hypertrophy to treat NAO through 12 months posttreatment.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter, long-term, open-label study was conducted in nine centers within the United States and included patients with severe/extreme NAO attributed to SSB hypertrophy.

Products of Variables in Structural Equation Models.

A general method is introduced in which variables that are products of other variables in the context of a structural equation model (SEM) can be decomposed into the sources of variance due to the multiplicands. The result is a new category of SEM which we call a Products of Variables Model (PoV). Some useful and practical features of PoV models include estimation of interactions between latent variables, latent variable moderators, manifest moderators with missing values, and manifest or latent squared terms.

Two-year outcomes of temperature-controlled radiofrequency device treatment of the nasal valve for patients with nasal airway obstruction.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term symptom improvements in patients with nasal airway obstruction (NAO) secondary to nasal valve collapse (NVC) following minimally invasive temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment.

Methods: A prospective, single-arm, multicenter study in patients >18 years with NAO due to NVC. Inclusion criteria were response to nasal valve dilation (e.

Temperature-controlled radiofrequency device treatment of septal swell bodies for nasal airway obstruction: An open-label, single arm multicenter study.

Background: Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is a highly prevalent disorder. Septal swell body (SSB) hypertrophy is an often overlooked contributor to NAO. SSB treatment may relieve symptoms of NAO.

Associations Between Traumatic Stress, Brain Volumes and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in Children: Data from the ABCD Study.

Reduced volumes in brain regions of interest (ROIs), primarily from adult samples, are associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We extended this work to children using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study® (N = 11,848; M = 9.92).
