The recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is one of the most popular adaptive algorithms that can be found in the literature, due to the fact that it is easily and exactly derived from the normal equations. In this paper, we give another interpretation of the RLS algorithm and show the importance of linear interpolation error energies in the RLS structure. We also give a very efficient way to...

Migraine and restless legs syndrome (RLS) appear to be associated, but the relationship between tension-type headache (TTH) and RLS is unknown. This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study explored the potential association between TTH and RLS.We identified 15,504 patients with newly diagnosed TTH from 2000 to 2007 and 62,016 individuals without TTH who were selected by frequen...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between white matter lesion (WML) volume, silent infarcts and restless legs syndrome (RLS) in a population-based study of elderly individuals. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Population-based Three-City study. PARTICIPANTS 1035 individuals from the Dijon, France, centre of the Three-City study who had available information on volume of WMLs from...

We commend Gemignani and colleagues for important observations 1 on the prevalence of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in 104 patients with symptoms of exclusive small fiber neuropa-thy, peripheral neuropathy, or mononeuropathy multiplex. The co-occurrence of neuropathy and RLS has been studied from two standpoints in the past, without reaching a consensus: the frequency of neuropathy in RLS patien...

dopamine agonists, particularly nonergot dopamine agonists such as pramipexole, have become the mainstay of therapy for patients with symptoms of restless legs syndrome (rls). this study was designed to evaluate the factors affecting the efficacy of pramipexole in patients with rls. fifty-nine eligible rls patients referred to neurology clinic of rasoul-e-akram hospital (tehran, iran) were recr...

In our previous cross-sectional study, we found that restless legs syndrome (RLS) was associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). Thus, we conducted a prospective study to examine whether RLS was associated with a higher risk of developing ED based on 6 years of follow-up among 10,394 men (mean age = 63.4 years) in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. RLS was assessed in 2002 using a set of...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of 800 mg of valerian with a placebo on sleep quality and symptom severity in people with restless legs syndrome (RLS). METHODS A prospective, triple-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design was used to compare the efficacy of valerian with placebo on sleep quality and symptom severity in patients with RLS. Thirty-seven participants were random...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in elderly individuals is well known but the incidence and the clinical correlates in these subjects are still unclear. The present study explores the prevalence of and assesses symptoms associated with RLS in an older French population. METHODS The study sample for this study comprised 318 subjects (219 women and 99 men), aged 68.6 +/...

Anticancer drugs which selectively interact with DNA can change DNA's conformation and inhibit the duplication or transcription of DNA. An instrument-based assay for directly screening DNA-targeted anticancer drugs using resonance light scattering (RLS) technique with a common spectrofluorometer was proposed. To monitor the proposed screening method, the interactions between three anticarcinoge...
