Article Synopsis
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder affecting a significant percentage of adults and children, leading to disrupted sleep and decreased quality of life, often requiring medication for moderate to severe cases.
- The review covers pharmacotherapy options for RLS, detailing current treatment recommendations for both adults and children, based on extensive research.
- Expert insights suggest addressing underlying causes of secondary RLS, using first-line treatments like calcium channel ligands, and considering polytherapy for resistant cases, while emphasizing the need for more research into effective drugs and understanding RLS's pathophysiology.
We report a retrospective monocentric study performed on 63 patients affected by epilepsy with known etiology, receiving perampanel as add-on therapy with at least 12-month follow-up. The purpose of our study was to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of perampanel in this group of epilepsies. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on the presence/absence of a single focal brain lesion on MRI, as epilepsy etiology: 48 subjects were affected by focal lesional epilepsy and 15 by non-focal lesional epilepsy.

Statin use before CAS has shown to reduce peri-procedural risk and improve survival, though time-dependent cofactors that influence mortality has not been considered. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term survival of patients who undergo CAS considering new occurred major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) as time-dependent cofactor.

Methods: Nine workers at the University Hospital of Udine who reported an occupational injury in the study period (cases), and seven noninjured workers (controls) underwent a polysomnography and four 40-minute maintenance of wakefulness tests (MWT). Differences in sleep characteristics and in wakefulness maintenance were assessed using Wilcoxon's rank sums tests and Fisher's exact tests.
