Despite the various benefits of chlorpromazine, its misuse and overdose may lead to severe side effects, therefore, creating a user-friendly point-of-care device for monitoring the levels of chlorpromazine drug to manage the potential side effects and ensure the effective and safe use of the medication is highly desired. In this report, we have demonstrated a simple and scalable manufacturing process for the development of a 3D-printed conducting microneedle array-based electrochemical point-of-care device for the minimally invasive sensing of chlorpromazine. We used an inkjet printer to print the carbon and silver ink onto a customized 3D-printed ultrasharp microneedle array for the preparation of counter, working, and reference electrodes.

Persistent hiccups are rare but can serve as an early symptom of underlying conditions, including pulmonary infections and cerebrovascular disorders. This case highlights hiccups as a presenting symptom of bronchopneumonia in a hemodialysis patient and explores the effective use of chlorpromazine and Hange-koboku-to (HKT) as symptomatic therapies. Given the potential association of hiccups with neurological conditions, this case underscores the need for comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.

Background: Foreign language syndrome is a rare neuropsychiatric phenomenon typically following general anesthesia. To date, foreign language syndrome has not been associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) in the literature. This case aims to broaden the clinical understanding of NMS by presenting an atypical manifestation of foreign language syndrome and emphasizing the need for prompt recognition of such presentations for accurate diagnosis and management.
