STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency of nocturnal eating (NE) and sleep related eating disorder (SRED) in restless legs syndrome (RLS) versus psychophysiological insomnia (INS), and the relationship of these conditions with dopaminergic and sedative-hypnotic medications. DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING Sleep disorders center. PATIENTS Newly diagnosed RLS or INS. INTERVENT...

In this paper, a new computationally efficient algorithm for recursive least-squares (RLS) filtering is presented. The proposed Split RLS algorithm can perform the approximated RLS with O ( N ) complexity for signals having no special data structure t o be exploited. Our performance analysis shows that the estimation bias will be small when the input data are less correlated. We also show that ...

Objective: Diabetes is a global epidemic with India estimated to have the highest prevalence of 79.4 million by 2030. RLS is a common yet undiagnosed comorbidity causing significant distress. We aimed to analyze association between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and type 2 diabetes. Method: One hundred fifty six Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and eighty eight non-diabetic control, were assessed ...

BACKGROUND Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological condition characterized by uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations in the legs that are relieved by movement. It is frequently idiopathic, sometimes associated with specific disorders such as malignancies. Because there is no study relevant to RLS in Multiple Myeloma (MM), we aimed to evaluate the frequency of RLS in MM patients d...

BACKGROUND Based on questionnaire criteria, the sensorimotor disorder restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been reported to have a higher prevalence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients than in the general population. There has been some speculation that peripheral arthritic symptoms may allow false positive responses to questionnaire criteria. This study evaluates whether RA patients meeting RLS ...

BACKGROUND Previous cross-sectional studies suggested a positive association between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and coronary heart disease (CHD). This observation was not confirmed by subsequent prospective studies. However, these prospective studies did not take into account the duration of RLS symptoms. Therefore, we prospectively examined whether RLS was associated with an increased risk o...

Several modified RLS algorithms are studied in order to improve the rate of convergence, increase the tracking performance and reduce the computational cost of the regular RLS algorithm. . In this paper a new quantized input RLS, QI-RLS algorithm is introduced. The proposed algorithm is a modification of an existing method, namely, CRLS, and uses a new quantization function for clipping the inp...

The restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensorimotor condition that often results in discomfort and sleep disturbance. Diagnosis of RLS is entirely clinical and based upon a patient's description of subjective symptoms, and thus when considering RLS diagnosis non-specificity is a real problem. RLS is associated with periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) in up to 90% of RLS sufferers;...
