TLDR
8-hour polysomnography in multiple sclerosis patients was evaluated to correlate sleep results with clinical and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and found greater MRI lesion loads were detected in the infratentorial regions, particularly in cerebellum and brainstem.About:

Restless legs syndrome: diagnostic criteria, special considerations, and epidemiology. A report from the restless legs syndrome diagnosis and epidemiology workshop at the National Institutes of Health.
Richard P. Allen,Daniel L. Picchietti,Wayne A. Hening,Claudia Trenkwalder,Arthur S. Walters,Jacques Montplaisi +5 more
TL;DR: Modification of the criteria for the diagnosis of restless legs syndrome is modified to better reflect that increased body of knowledge, as well as to clarify slight confusion with the wording of the original criteria.

TL;DR: The lack of standardized operational research diagnostic criteria (RDC) for their definition has, in turn, led to inconsistent research findings for most phenotypes largely due to the variable definitions used for their ascertainment as discussed by the authors.

Fatigue in chronic disease.
TL;DR: A broader understanding of this distressing symptom will lead to the development of specific therapies for treating fatigue in patients with chronic disease, and methods for measuring fatigue and an approach to the fatigued patient are discussed.

A rating scale for depression
TL;DR: The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.

TL;DR: Today there is a need for more exact criteria than existed earlier in order to conduct therapeutic trials in multicenter programs, to compare epidemiological surveys, to evaluate new diagnostic procedures, and to estimate the activity of the disease process in MS.
