INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a type of neurological disorder which presents with an uncontrollable urge to move legs and arms. It commonly affects legs more than arms. Data regarding prevalence of restless legs syndrome in leprosy are sparse. The aims and objectives of the study were to find out the prevalence of RLS in people affected by leprosy and to determine ...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disease characterized by the presence of an urge to move the legs accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the legs. The symptoms appear or increase in the evening and during the night, they are provoked by rest, and are totally or partially relieved by moving the legs [1, 2] . Diagnosis of RLS is based solely on the presence of the abovementioned symptoms witho...

OBJECTIVE Restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been reported to be more prevalent in schizophrenic patients who take antipsychotics. The cause of RLS is unknown but associated with dopaminergic deficiency. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of L-tyrosine to DOPA. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the TH gene Val81Met polymorphism is ass...

Ramularia leaf spot (RLS), caused by the fungus Ramularia collo-cygni, is a serious, recently emerged disease of barley in Europe and other temperate regions. This study investigated the trade off between strong resistance to powdery mildew conferred by mlo mutant alleles and increased susceptibility to RLS. In field trials and seedling tests, the presence of mlo alleles increased severity of R...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested a strong link between migraines and restless legs syndrome (RLS). It is possible that these disorders share a dopaminergic dysfunction in the hypothalamic A11 nucleus that contributes to this association. However, there have been no clinical studies to evaluate the effect of dopaminergic treatment on migraine symptoms in patients with concomitant migrain...

Study Question: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common and often underestimated neurological disorder, with a prevalence ranging from approximately 2.5% to 10% in Western industrialised countries. The aim of this study was to summarise the research findings on the human and economic costs associated with RLS in populations without any co-morbidities or potentially confounding health condition...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are related conditions that often are comorbid. A diagnosis of RLS is made on the basis of patient complaints, and PLMS is diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG). Both RLS and PLMS are common in older adults, affecting 19% and 66% of elders, respectively. Although numerous studies have investigated other sleep disturbances (e....

| In this paper we exploit the one-to-one correspondences between the recursive least-squares (RLS) and Kalman variables to formulate extended forms of the RLS algorithm. Two particular forms of the extended RLS algorithm are considered, one pertaining to a system identiication problem and the other pertaining to the tracking of a chirped sinusoid in additive noise. For both of these applicatio...

The paper presents a family of the sliding window RLS adaptive filtering algorithms with the regularization of adaptive filter correlation matrix. The algorithms are developed in forms, fitted to the implementation by means of parallel computations. The family includes RLS and fast RLS algorithms based on generalized matrix inversion lemma, fast RLS algorithms based on square root free inverse ...

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest a potential relationship between Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and hypertension and heart disease. Acute clinical stroke has been linked to the immediate onset of RLS, and epidemiological studies suggest the possibility that RLS may also lead to stroke. METHODS MRI scans from 26 RLS cases and 241 controls from the population based MEMO-Study (Memory and Morbid...
