Circadian Pattern in Restless Legs Syndrome: Implications for Treatment Posology.

The symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) follow a circadian pattern, as inducated in the current RLS diagnostic criteria. Indeed, subjects with mild-to-moderate RLS suffer or not from RLS symptoms depending on the time of day, resembling an above-threshold state periodically followed by a below-threshold state. Although the circadian clock is crucial in the clinical features of RLS, research assessing the ultimate drivers of circadian rhythmicity is still very limited.

Machine Learning Prediction of Small Molecule Accumulation in Enhanced with Descriptor Statistics.

Antibiotic resistance, particularly among Gram-negative bacteria, poses a significant healthcare challenge due to their ability to evade antibiotic action through various mechanisms. In this study, we explore the prediction of small molecule accumulation in Gram-negative bacteria by using machine learning techniques enhanced with statistical descriptors derived from molecular dynamics simulations. We begin by identifying a minimal set of molecular descriptors that maximize the model's predictive power while preserving human interpretability.

Correlation between systemic iron parameters and substantia nigra iron stores in restless legs syndrome.

Objective: To evaluate the relation between systemic iron parameters (SIP) and substantia nigra (SN) iron deposits, as assessed by transcranial sonography (TCS) in restless legs syndrome (RLS).

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in RLS patients, from whom blood samples with SIP were obtained, consisting of total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), serum ferritin, hemoglobin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), serum iron, and serum transferrin. TCS was performed over the SN, and the substantia nigra echogenicity index (SNEI) was determined according to established methods.

Thiophene-Bipyridine Appended Diketopyrrolopyrrole Ligands and Platinum(II) Complexes.

Straightforward palladium(II) catalyzed direct cross-coupling reaction between decyl, ()-2-methyl-butyl, and dodecyl -substituted diketopyrrolopyrrole thiophene (DPPT), including a 3-methoxy-thiophene derivative, and 6-bromo-2,2'-bipyridine afforded a series of mono- and bis-bipyridine substituted DPPT ligands -. Complexation reactions with PtCl(DMSO) provided ortho-metalated platinum(II) complexes and , together with the N^N^O complex () resulted from the O-Me activation of the intermediary complex (). The ligand and the mononuclear complexes and have been structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray structure, evidencing the establishment of numerous intermolecular π-π interactions in the solid state.

Low risk of iron overload or anaphylaxis during treatment of restless legs syndrome with intravenous iron: a consecutive case series in a regular clinical setting.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of iron overload and anaphylaxis following intravenous (IV) iron treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS).

Methods: A total of 58 consecutive RLS patients, meeting clinical requirements for IV iron treatment according to current IRLSSG guidelines were recruited. IV iron treatment consisted of two 500 mg infusions of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) administered five days apart.
