OBJECTIVES To characterize and describe the prevalence of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in hospitalized psychiatric patients and to investigate the correlations between patient profile and RLS. METHODS Demographic information, psychiatric diagnoses, psychotropic medication use, and history of substance use were collected from hospitalized psychiatric patients at the American University of Beiru...

This paper designs the recursive least-squares (RLS) Wiener finite impulse response (FIR) predictor and filter, based on the innovation approach, in linear discrete-time stochastic systems. It is assumed that the signal is observed with additive white noise and the signal process is uncorrelated with the observation noise process. This paper also presents the recursive algorithms for the estima...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A high prevalence of right-to-left shunt (RLS) was described in a family of patients with CADASIL, a rare cerebral arteriopathy attributable to Notch3 gene mutations. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of RLS in patients with CADASIL and possible relation to clinical phenotype and cerebral MRI lesion load. METHODS Twenty-three CADASIL patients underwe...

BACKGROUND Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common and highly burdensome sleep disorder. While relaxation therapies, including yoga, are often recommended for RLS management, rigorous supporting research is sparse. The goal of this preliminary study was to assess the effects of yoga on RLS symptoms and related outcomes in women with RLS. METHODS Participants were 13 nonsmoking women with mod...

Introduction: Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a sensory motor disorder. Patients with this syndrome have serious and uncontrollable desire to move their legs, which is mostly due to an uncomfortable feeling intensified when they are motionless. It may be a genetic disorder or secondary to iron deficiency, neurodegenerations, pregnancy, some drugs and severe kidney diseases. Objectives: This stud...
