TL;DR: This scale meets performance criteria for a brief, patient completed instrument that can be used to assess RLS severity for purposes of clinical assessment, research, or therapeutic trials and supports a finding that RLS is a relatively uniform disorder in which the severity of the basic symptoms is strongly related to their impact on the patient's life.

TL;DR: It is shown that patients with hereditary RLS may experience an earlier onset of the disease, compared to those of non-hereditary RLS, which was similar in both groups.

TL;DR: Sleep disruption and increased motor activity during REM and non REM sleep are a frequent finding in Parkinson's disease and MSA patients and an increased PLM index in untreated PD patients may be due to a dopaminergic deficit and is probably not associated with dopaminaergic treatment.

TL;DR: This work presents a meta-analyses of the immune system’s role in the development of psychopathology and shows clear patterns of action towards which drugs such as Prozac, anti-anxiety medication, and anti-depressant medication are likely to be correlated.

TL;DR: A specific pattern of decreased brain activity during sleep is described and it is suggested that this pattern must be synchronized for establishing and maintaining sleep.
