COBRA: COde Blue Retrospective Audit in a metropolitan hospital.

Background: Inhospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is an uncommon but challenging problem.

Aims: To investigate the management and outcomes of IHCA, and to investigate the effect of introducing a medical emergency team (MET) on IHCA prevalence.

Methods: Retrospective medical record review of 176 adult IHCA episodes at Box Hill Hospital, a university-affiliated public hospital in metropolitan Melbourne, from July 2012 to June 2017.

Ransomware: Recent advances, analysis, challenges and future research directions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has witnessed a huge surge in the number of ransomware attacks. Different institutions such as healthcare, financial, and government have been targeted. There can be numerous reasons for such a sudden rise in attacks, but it appears working remotely in home-based environments (which is less secure compared to traditional institutional networks) could be one of the reasons.
