ARQUIVOS DE NEURO-PSIQUIATRIA 2019; 77:47-54. [PMID: 30758442 DOI: 10.1590/0004-282x20180125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2018] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disorder (RLS/WED) are relatively common diseases in the realm of movement disorders. The fact that both may, as expected, co-occur and typically share a similar remarkable response to dopaminergic treatment raised the interest in exploration of additional shared features that throughout the years cruised fields as diverse as phenomenology, epidemiology, genetics, pathology, and clinical studies. In this review, we describe and critically examine the evidence and biases of a conceivable overlap of these two disorders, trying to shed light onto two main sources of confusion: (1) are PD and RLS/WED reciprocal risk factors? and (2) what are the main mimics of RLS/WED in PD?

[PMID: 27666468 DOI: 10.1016/j.braindev.2016.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2016] [Revised: 08/09/2016] [Accepted: 08/30/2016] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and associated factors in adolescents aged 13-16years in the provincial center of Kayseri. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study sample included 5720 adolescents who were selected from among 74,421 grade 7-10 students aged 13-16years in the provincial center of Kayseri. Overall, datas from 4792 subjects were included into analysis. Data were collected by using a self reported questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The prevalence rate of RLS was determined by questionnaire datas and phone interviews. The effects of age, gender, economical status and body weight on RLS prevalence rate were analyzed. Mean ESS score was calculated. The effect of RLS on academic success, as measured by grade point average, was also assessed. The subjects were stratified as underweight, normal, overweight and obese according to the body mass index and the RLS prevalence rate was compared among groups. RESULTS The RLS prevalence rate was determined to be 2.9% among adolescents aged 13-16years in the study group. It was found that gender and economical status had no significant effect on RLS prevalence. Mean age at symptom onset was 11.4years of age. There was a positive family history in 11.3% of subjects. Mean body mass index (BMI) was found to be significantly higher in subjects with RLS (21.5±3.8 vs. 20.5±3.2). Academic success (72.0±11.2 vs. 77.0±12.0) was found to be poorer and daytime sleepiness level, as measured by ESS (11.4±3.9 vs. 6.3±4.0), was found to be higher in subjects with RLS. CONCLUSION The RLS prevalence rate was 2.9% in the study sample while gender and economical status had no significant effect on prevalence rate. The RLS, which results in decreased sleep quality and academic success, is an important disorder with a considerable prevalence in the population.

Abstract
The use of eponyms in neurology remains controversial, and important questions have been raised about their appropriateness. Different approaches have been taken, with some eponyms being excluded, others replaced, and new ones being created. An example is Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome, which has been replaced by neurodegeneration with brain iron accuulatium (NBIA). Amiothoplic lateral sclerosys (ALS), for which the eponym is Charcot's disease, has been replaced in the USA by Lou Gehrig's disease. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an eponym that is still the subject of controversy, and various different names are associated with it. Finally,restless legs syndrome (RLS), which was for years known as Ekbom's syndrome, has been rechristened as RLS/Willis-Ekbom syndrome.

Abstract
The Consensus on restless legs syndrome is an effort of neurologists from several Brazilian states, which tirelessly reviewed the literature of recent years in search of evidence, both in regard to diagnosis and treatment, according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine.
