Objective : To investigate interaction between orally given Centella asiaticaûs ethyl acetate fraction (EACA) and intraperitoneally administered antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), namely, phenytoin, valproate and gabapentin.
Materials and Methods : Isobolographic analysis was used to evaluate the interaction between EACA and AEDs in terms of protection of mice in the pentylenetetrazole test. Rotarod test was used to evaluate neurotoxicity.
Results : When given alone, the median effective dose of phenytoin, valproate and gabapentin were found to be 13, 104, and 310 mg/kg BW, respectively, whereas the corresponding values in the presence of EACA were 5, 29 and 79 mg/kg BW. Together with isobolographic analysis, the results obtained indicated an additive effect among all combinations tested. In relation to neurotoxicity, combination of gabapentin and EACA demonstrated a broader margin between the effective dose and the neurotoxic dose while the other two combinations did not.
Conclusion : The present finding suggested a potential of Centella asiatica to be developed as an adjunctive medication for epileptic patients.

Objective : To determine appropriated documentations for diagnosis junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) before treatment in post-operative open heart surgery and identify risk factors for post-operative cardiac arrhythmias in children.
Materials and Methods : The authors performed a retrospective chart review in 277 patients who underwent surgical corrections at British Columbiaûs Children Hospital from January 1st, 2000 to December 31st , 2001. History, clinical symptoms, complication of surgery and post-operative cardiac arrhythmias were reviewed from medical records. The authors investigated whether JET was being diagnosed accurately and whether it was being adequately documented prior to the initiation of therapy. The authors also identified risk factors that were associated with JET. All documentations before treatment were reviewed by Pediatric cardiologists to confirm diagnosis.
Results : Although the diagnostic accuracy (84%), sensitivity (87%), and specificity (84%) are high, a significant number of patients with post-operative arrhythmias were treated without adequate documentation of the arrhythmia. The documentation of arrhythmias in the Intensive Care Unit was largely limited to rhythm strips, with very few 12-lead ECGs and wire studies performed to assist with the diagnosis.
Conclusion : The presented data indicates that, in this critically-ill population, there was an unacceptable number of patients with post-operative arrhythmias who may have been treated inappropriately. It is very important to emphasize the interpretation of wire studies, an investigation normally done in a critical care setting and whose interpretation is very important to the accurate diagnosis of pediatric arrhythmias
