Restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease diagnostic criteria: updated International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) consensus criteria--history, rationale, description, and significance. (2014, unknown): “low brain iron [19–24], peripheral iron relation to RLS/WED severity [25–28], pain sensory abnormalities [29,30], cortical and spinal excitability [31], hypoxic pathway activation [32–34], and genetic factors of RLS/WED [35–42].”
Imaging iron stores in the brain using magnetic resonance imaging. (2005, background): “The references were chosen to cover major headings related to observations of iron effects in brain [1–131], liver iron [132–146], MRI developments related to signal effects of iron [147–174], relaxation effects [175–209], magnetic field artifacts [210–218], measuring field effects [219–231] and tar”
Ferritin for the Clinician (2008, unknown): “There has been some suggestion that patients with restless legs syndrome have significantly lower spinal fluid ferritin levels compared to controls; although serum ferritin and transferrin levels can be similar in both groups, suggesting a central etiology to the disorder.(58) Connor showed a dramat”
