Efficacy of a K+ Channel Agonist, XEN1101, For Preserving Contractility in Mouse Models of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 668-674, April 2026.
Pretreatment with an agonist of Kv7 potassium channels (XEN1101) protects the soleus muscle from a loss of force during a 2 mM K+ challenge, in a mouse model of hypokalemic periodic paralysis. ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Effective management remains lacking for recurrent episodes of acute weakness in hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP).

Immediate Postoperative Decrease in Serum Potassium and One‐Month Reduction in Renal Function After Adrenalectomy for Primary Aldosteronism: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Advances in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Although adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism (PA) corrects hypokalemia, we observed cases in which serum potassium decreased immediately after adrenalectomy, even in patients with preoperative hypokalemia. No studies have described postoperative potassium changes in PA.

Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Responses in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Exposed to Toluene or Benzene Under Thermal Stress

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pollution and climate change are increasingly recognized as interacting stressors that may exacerbate risks to aquatic organisms. The present study investigated the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of thermal stress combined with benzene or toluene exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

A Rare Case of Bartter Syndrome Type 3 Diagnosed in Elderly Age

Case Reports in Endocrinology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bartter syndrome (BS) type 3 typically presents in childhood and is caused by defects in NaCl transporters of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. We report a 66‐year‐old woman with asymptomatic but severe hypokalemia (2.0 mmol/L), metabolic alkalosis, and hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism.

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis Associated With a Rare CACNA1S Variant (p.Leu1243Val): Expanding the Mutational Spectrum

Case Reports in Genetics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is a rare skeletal muscle channelopathy, most often caused by mutations in CACNA1S or SCN4A. Most pathogenic CACNA1S mutations affect arginine residues in S4 voltage‐sensor domains, but other variants remain poorly understood.
