Restless Leg Syndrome and Severe Preeclampsia

Restless Leg SyndromeSevere Preeclampsia

Restless Leg Syndrome is a common but not well recognized central nervous system disorder. It is more prevalent during pregnancy and, if present before pregnancy, can develop an exacerbation of symptoms. In some of the hypothesis trying to explain this syndrome, the physiopathology can also explain hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. So far, no study has been done trying to link both disorders.

Agitation in the Acute Psychiatric Department

Mental Disorders

Agitation is associated with a number of acute psychiatric conditions, and frequent in acute psychiatric admissions. It is associated with violence towards others, and strongly associated with in-patient suicides. The main aims of the study are to assess different clinical presentations of agitation at admittance, and to assess the consequences of these different clinical presentations during the first three days of the stay.

Agitation Follow up After Introduction of a New Patient Care Algorithm

Agitation,Psychomotor

Agitation in the intensive care unit is motor hyperactivity. It is frequent (b/w 30% to 70%) and has multiple causes: pain, medical reason, delirium, medication, etc. It can be a source of complication, for the patient, and equipment pullout. International recommendations state that the agitation should be taken care of with standardized protocols to improve patient care.

Cardiovascular Variability, Heart Rate Response, and Electromyogram Power Associated With Periodic...

Restless Legs Syndrome

Periodic leg movements during sleep is associated with microarousals and a stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. The knowledge of this autonomic activation may help understanding the increase of cardiac risk observed in elderly. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between periodic leg movements severity, age, gender, electromyographic power and heart rate response associated with periodic leg movements. Drug-free patients diagnosed with periodic leg movements were included. Clinical data and 24-h polysomnography recordings were analyzed.

Agitation in Post Operative Neurosurgical Patients

AgitationCraniotomy

Agitation is a significant clinical issue in anesthesiology and critical care medicine. Several studies have carried out to survey the epidemics of agitation in post-anesthesia care unit and intensive care unit, and results revealed that agitation had an adverse impact on outcomes. To our clinical experience, agitation can occur in postoperative neurosurgical patients, and is often difficult to manage. However, agitation in this subset of patients is poorly evaluated. In present study, adult patients following craniotomy will be enrolled consecutively, and incidence, risk factor and outcome of emergent agitation will be investigated. The results of the study will provide basic data for prevention and treatment of agitation in postoperative neurosurgical patients.

Relationship Between Sensory and Motor Systems in Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless Legs Syndrome

This study will explore what occurs between sensory and motor systems in restless legs syndrome (RLS). Patients with RLS have uncomfortable sensations in the legs, usually in the evening or early part of the night. Most patients also have periodic involuntary leg movements. The condition tends to worsen over time, resulting in severe discomfort and sleep disturbances. Healthy normal volunteers and patients with RLS between 18 and 80 years of age may be eligible for this study. All candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical and neurological evaluations, electroymogram (measure of muscle activity), overnight sleep study, electrocardiogram (ECG, measurement of the electrical activity of the heart), and blood and urine tests. They may also have brain or spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT) scans and a chest X-ray. Participants must stop taking all medications prohibited by the study for 2 days or more before the study starts and throughout its duration. Participants will undergo prepulse inhibition tests to assess nervous system function. The participant sits comfortably in a quiet room. Several cables are attached to the face and legs using a special cream that conducts electrical signals through the cables to recording equipment. Nervous system activity is evaluated while the subject is at rest and after sensory stimulation (stimulating the nerves in the legs and face with a very brief electrical current of mild to moderate intensity). At times, the subject receives a short, mild sound stimulation delivered through earphones. The testing session takes 4 to 6 hours.
