Mexiletine hydrochloride and its potential impurity xylenol were determined by micellar electrokinetic chromatography in a 25 cm long capillary. The effect of parameters--temperature, electric field, concentration of analyzed compounds, type and composition of background electrolyte--on the separation of analytes and precision of analysis was studied. The advantage of the elaborated method is a very short time of analysis (2.3 min) at the sufficient level of precision and reliability of results.

Myotonia congenita, both in a dominant (Thomsen disease) and recessive form (Becker disease), is caused by molecular defects in that encodes the major skeletal muscle chloride channel, ClC-1. This channel is important for the normal repolarization of muscle action potentials and consequent relaxation of the muscle, and its dysfunction leads to impaired muscle relaxation after voluntary or evoked contraction and muscle stiffness. More than 300 pathogenic variants have been found in association with congenital myotonia, inherited as recessive or dominant traits (with complete or incomplete penetrance).

The binding affinity of pharmaceutical hydrochlorides onto transition metal oxide nanoparticles (TMONPs) was investigated through a consecutive process of adsorption and desorption. Mexiletine (MEX) was chosen as a model pharmaceutical hydrochloride that bound onto TMONPs' surface through electrostatic interactions and coordination bonding. Response surface methodology was applied for their optimal separation by capillary electrophoresis to achieve accurate quantitation.

Objectives: To report a case of adult-onset non-dystrophic myotonia complicated by recurrent episodes of laryngospasm.
Methods: The patient is a 35-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for recurrent episodes of apnea requiring endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation. He underwent extensive evaluation, including EMG, laryngoscopy, muscle biopsy, and genetic testing, which revealed a diagnosis of non-dystrophic myotonia.

In this case report, we present a 24-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of epilepsy who was admitted to the hospital following loss of consciousness (LOC). It was initially assumed that this was an epileptic seizure based on her previous diagnosis of epilepsy; however, a review of her electrocardiograms (ECGs) revealed a prolonged QT interval. She was admitted to the cardiology ward for continuous ECG monitoring and subsequently developed self-limiting torsades de pointes (TDP).
