Periodic limb movements during sleep: population prevalence, clinical correlates, and racial differences.

Holly H Scofield, Thomas T Roth, and Christopher C Drake

Sleep 31(9):1221-7 (2008) PMID 18788647 PMCID 2542977

There is growing interest in the study of periodic limb movements during sleep and their potential clinical correlates. The aim of the present analysis is to address the lack of population-based studies using polysomnographic (PSG) measures to determine the prevalence of period limb movements during sleep in specific racial groups as well as the general population.

    arXiv:1305.5134 [astro-ph.EP] 22 May 2013

    We present long-term BVRI observations of 2010 WG9, an ~100-km diameter Trans-Neptunian object (TNO) with an extremely high inclination of 70 deg Discovered by the La Silla - QUEST southern sky survey. Most of the Observations were obtained with ANDICAM on the SMARTS 1.3m at Cerro Tololo, Chile from...

    All patients showed an improvement in mobility following the 10-day CIMT session. Strong positive correlation was found only between F-M after CIMT and PLIC-rFA (r = 0.8098, p = 0.0004). A strong linear relationship was observed after CIMT. Conclusion: These data support PLIC-rFA as a new marker of...

    We studied polar and temperate samples of the lichen Cetraria aculeata to investigate whether genetical differences between photobionts are correlated with physiological properties of the lichen holobiont. Net photosynthesis and dark respiration (DR) at different temperatures (from 0 to 30 °C) and...
