BACKGROUND Monitoring retinal oxygenation is of primary importance in detecting the presence of some common eye diseases. To improve the estimation of oxygen tension in retinal vessels, regularized least-squares (RLS) method was shown to be very effective compared with the conventional least-squares (LS) estimation. In this study, we propose an accelerated RLS estimation method for the problem ...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological disorder that is characterized by an urge to move the legs (or arms), usually accompanied by uncomfortable and bothersome sensations in the affected limbs. The prevalence of RLS ranges from 7.2% to 11.5% in the general population, and its symptoms are frequent or severe enough to require medical treatment by approximately 3% of the populatio...

OBJECTIVE This study was cross sectional survey conducted to find the prevalence of Restless legs syndrome (RLS) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on haemodialysis (HD). METHODS Data were obtained from 250 patients on chronic maintenance HD. To assess the prevalence of RLS, Clinical diagnostic criteria for RLS was used which is established by the International RLS Study Group. RESU...

INTRODUCTION Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects 5-15% of adults, but is often unrecognized and consequently misdiagnosed. The International Restless Legs Scale (IRLS) has been developed and validated to assess the severity of RLS. Currently, the most common treatment for RLS is levodopa, but this may lead to augmentation of symptoms. Pramipexole has been developed as an alternative treatment ...

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...
