To determine the frequency of post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after cardio-pulmonary bypass and association of pre-operative and intraoperative risk factors with incidence of PPCs. ⋯ The incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications was 6.2% in this study. Advanced age (age ≥ 60 years), prolonged CPB time (CPB time > 120 minutes), pre-op pulmonary hypertension and intraoperative phrenic nerve injury are independent risk factors of PPCs after surgery.

Rapid virological&End treatment response of patients treated with Sofosbuvir in Chronic Hepatitis C.
To determineRapid & End treatment response of patients treated with Sofosbuvir in Chronic Hepatitis C at tertiary care hospital. ⋯ Sofosbuvir has shown to be very effective andsuccessfulwith achievement of virological response with little or no resistance in all genotypes mainly genotype 3 treated in our study population. The promising results of our study will aid in better outcomes and therefore help in eradication of the virus.
