BACKGROUND Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a common problem in patients with chronic renal failure. It can reduce the quality of life and sleep disturbances. This disorder is usually treated pharmacologically. Recently, complementary medicine methods have been suggested because of chemical drugs adverse effects. There is not enough evidence about the effect of aromatherapy on RLS. OBJECTIVES T...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurosensory disorder first described by Sir Thomas Willis in 1672. As early as the 19th century, Theodor Wittmaack1 observed the comorbidity of RLS with depression and anxiety. He termed this condition “anxietas tibiarum” and believed it to be a form of hysteria. Once thought to be rare, data now suggest that RLS is relatively common but underrecognized and un...

BACKGROUND Uraemic restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects a significant proportion of patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) therapy. Exercise training has been shown to improve RLS symptoms in uraemic RLS patients; however, the mechanism of exercise-induced changes in RLS severity is still unknown. The aim of the current randomized controlled exercise trial was to investigate whether the reductio...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Juxtacortical spots are detected frequently on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, but have not been extensively researched in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). We hypothesized that juxtacortical spots on FLAIR images are partly associated with right-to-left shunt (RLS) in TIA without clear etiology. The possibility of an association between t...

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder. Clinical studies have implicated the dopaminergic system in RLS, while others have suggested that it is associated with insufficient levels of brain iron. To date, alterations in brain iron status have been demonstrated but, despite suggestions from the clinical literature, there have been no consistent findings documenting a dopaminergic ...

The Raman laser spectrometer (RLS) instrument onboard the Rosalind Franklin rover of ExoMars 2022 mission will analyze powdered samples on Mars to search for traces life. To prepare mission, RLS scientific team has developed Simulator (RLS Sim), a flexible model that operates similarly actual instrument, both in laboratory and field conditions, while also emulating operational constraints terms...

This paper proposes recursive least-squares (RLS) l-step ahead predictor and filtering algorithms with uncertain observations in linear discrete-time stochastic systems. The observation equation is given by         y k k z k v    k  , , where is a binary switching sequence with conditional probability. The estimators require the information of the system state-transition matrix   ...

Objective. Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a chronic distressing disease characterized by an urge to move the legs with an unpleasantsensation during periods of rest. The global prevalence estimates of RLS range from 2.5% to 15%. Method. This cross-sectional study was conducted at various hospitals in Karachi during August 13 to March 14. The visitors who had accompanied patients to Outpatient D...

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...
