    Objective: To explore motor praxis in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in comparison with a control group of people with intellectual disability (ID) and to examine the relationship with brain structural measurements. ...
  • Cerebellar dysfunction in adults with prader Willi syndrome
    Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Casamitjana, Laia; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Esteba-Castillo, Susanna; Giménez Palop, Olga; Freijo, Valentín; Deus, Joan; Caixàs, Assumpta (MDPI, 2021)
    Severe hypotonia during infancy is a hallmark feature of Prader Willi syndrome (PWS). Despite its transient expression, moto development is delayed and deficiencies in motor coordination are present at older ages, with no ...
  • Hunger and satiety peptides: is there a pattern to classify patients with prader-Willi syndrome?
    Bueno, Marta; Boixadera-Planas, Ester; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Esteba-Castillo, Susanna; Giménez Palop, Olga; Torrents-Rodas, David; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Corripio, Raquel; Deus, Joan; Caixàs, Assumpta (MDPI, 2021)
    Hyperphagia is one of the main problems of patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) to cope with everyday life. The underlying mechanisms are not yet well understood. Gut-brain hormones are an interrelated network that ...
  • Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia after Bariatric Surgery: Diagnosis and Management Experience from a Spanish Multicenter Registry.
    Vilarrasa, Nuria; Goday Arno, Alberto; Rubio Pérez, Miguel Angel; Caixàs, Assumpta; Pellitero, Silvia; Ciudin, Andrea; Calañas, Alfonso; Botella, José Ignacio; Bretón, Irene; Morales, María José; Díaz-Fernández, María Jesús; García-Luna, Pedro Pablo; Lecube, Albert (Karger, 2016)
    BACKGROUND: Severe postprandial hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery is a rare but invalidating complication. Our aim was to describe the different tests performed for its diagnosis and their outcomes as well as the response ...
  • Lack of Postprandial Peak in Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome.
    Bueno, Marta; Esteba-Castillo, Susanna; Novell, Ramon; Giménez Palop, Olga; Coronas, Ramon; Gabau, Elisabeth; Corripio, Raquel; Baena, Neus; Viñas-Jornet, Marina; Guitart, Miriam; Torrents-Rodas, David; Deus, Joan; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Rigla, Mercedes; Caixàs, Assumpta (Public Library of Science (PLoS) , 2016)
    CONTEXT: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is characterized by severe hyperphagia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and leptin are reciprocally involved in energy homeostasis. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the role of BDNF and ...
  • Lack of response to disgusting food in the hypothalamus and related structures in Prader Willi syndrome
    Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Esteba-Castillo, Susanna; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Giménez Palop, Olga; Gabau, Elisabeth; Casamitjana, Laia; Deus, Joan; Novell, Ramon; Caixàs, Assumpta (Elsevier, 2019)
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate, based on a putative abnormal neural processing of disgusting signals in Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) patients, the brain response to visual representations of disgusting food in PWS using functional ...
  • Mapping the sequence of brain events in response to disgusting food
    Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Coronas, Ramon; Esteba-Castillo, Susanna; Rigla, Mercedes; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Deus, Joan; Novell, Ramon; Caixàs, Assumpta (Wiley, 2018)
    Warning signals indicating that a food is potentially dangerous may evoke a response that is not limited to the feeling of disgust. We investigated the sequence of brain events in response to visual representations of ...
