A Florida-based obstetrics and gynecology facility reported in February 2019 that they lost data because of a ransomware attack. In November 2017, 107,000 healthcare records were exposed from data breaches, and 340,000 records were exposed in December 2017. In 2019, 23,000 patient records at Critical Care, Pulmonary & Sleep Associates were compromised when a hacker gained access to an employee's email account and sent out phishing emails to the other employees, eventually exposing the patient data. On January 11, 2018, Adams Memorial Hospital and Hancock Regional Hospital, both in Indiana, experienced independent ransomware attacks, with Hancock Regional Hospital paying $50,000 in ransom. These incidents point to significant and complex cybersecurity risks for all healthcare organizations. Effectively managing these risks requires healthcare managers to develop system thinking and adaptive leadership skills. This paper explores the nuances and complexities around systems thinking in the healthcare cybersecurity environment.

From the Triple A Leadership model, this chapter shares a story of four women who gained economic empowerment through a bakery project whose success can be attributed to the application of the three tenets of this model, namely; accountable, attitude and approach. The first A denotes that ‘Accountability' is an indispensable aspect of leadership while ‘Attitude' is the other basic element. The theory further highlights that ‘approach' is fundamental to good leadership. The four women displayed self-reinforcing attitude that gave rise to increased interest in the project resulting in self- empowerment. It is clear that when people' personalities display leadership skills such as awareness of individual differences, responsibility, conflict resolution, tensions can be avoided as was the case with women who owned the bakery. In reality different situations call for different leadership styles, different actions, different strategies and this case illustrates that Triple A leadership was the appropriate approach.

Abstract Filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) are made for one-time use. A massive shortage of FFRs is widespread during pandemic events and has forced many healthcare organizations to decontaminate them and re-use for a limited time. Many decontamination methods have been proposed for the decontamination of FFRs. This review highlights various aspects of decontamination methods available in the literature. Among various methods available, vaporized hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet irradiation, and dry heat seem to be the most promising decontaminants for FFRs. On the other hand, microwave, bleach, ethylene oxide, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide liquid, sanitizing wipes, and soap and water are not recommended methods for FFR decontamination.

Background: There is overestimation and underestimation of babies, the consequence being many AGA neonates labeled as SGA, and LGA neonates being overlooked and misinterpreted by using western based growth charts. So there is necessity to design Indian based growth charts for our babies. The objective is to construct gestational age and sex specific centile charts approximately for birth weight, length and head circumference for neonates born between 33 - 42 weeks of gestation and to compare with the other western growth charts.Methods: All babies were delivered in Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology and nomograms for birth weight, head circumference and length of neonates were noted in time period between July 2016 and June 2017. Gestational age and sex specific smoothened centile curves were created for both sexes separately by Lamda Mu Sigma (LMS) method. Our new centile charts were compared with standard western growth charts.Results: Gestational age and sex specific raw and smoothened curves for birth weight, length and head circumference centiles were created from 8100 (4026 males, 4074 females) neonates. Female neonates were lighter than the male neonates. Birth weights of our Indian babies were lower with no change in length and head circumference centiles across all gestations.Conclusions: The growth charts designed in our study can be used as wide reference charts for birth weight, height and head circumference for Indian ethnic neonates for stratification of neonates into SGA, AGA and LGA unlike western charts, which extrapolates or misclassifies our neonates thereby minimizing unnecessary interventions and complications.

The method described in this chapter is designed for data mining and learning on logic data. This type of data is composed of records that can be described by the presence or absence of a finite number of properties. Formally, such records can be described by variables that may assume only the values true or false, usually referred to as logic (or Boolean) variables. In real applications, it may also happen that the presence or absence of some property cannot be verified for some record; in such a case we consider that variable to be unknown (the capability to treat formally data with missing values is a feature of logic-based methods). For example, to describe patient records in medical diagnosis applications, one may use the logic variables healthy, old, has_high_temperature, among many others. A very common data mining task is to find, based on training data, the rules that separate two subsets of the available records, or explains the belonging of the data to one subset or the other. For example, one may desire to find a rule that, based one the many variables observed in patient records, is able to distinguish healthy patients from sick ones. Such a rule, if sufficiently precise, may then be used to classify new data and/or to gain information from the available data. This task is often referred to as machine learning or pattern recognition and accounts for a significant portion of the research conducted in the data mining community. When the data considered is in logic form or can be transformed into it by some reasonable process, it is of great interest to determine explanatory rules in the form of the combination of logic variables, or logic formulas. In the example above, a rule derived from data could be:if (has_high_temperature is true) and (running_nose is true) then (the patient is not healthy).
