Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for performing rollback recovery with data lineage capture for data pipelines. A middle operator receives ingested input events from a source operator reading data from an external input data source. The middle operator then logs information regarding middle input events to a middle operator input log, designating the logged middle input event information as incomplete. The middle operator then processes data associated with the middle input events and updates the middle input log entries setting them to a completed logging status designation for middle input events that were consumed to produce the one or more middle output events. The middle operator then transmits the middle output events to subsequent operators. Garbage collection is performed to remove completed entries from the middle operator output log. Finally, based on receiving a recovering message from a subsequent operator, corresponding middle output events are re-sent.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and devices for determining a quantitative estimate of syndecan-1 levels in a mammalian subject suspected of internal hemorrhaging. The method includes applying a blood sample from the subject to a hand-held assay device capable of providing optical quantitation of the amount of syndecan-1 in the sample, measuring, by means of said assay device, an analyte signal value correlated to a concentration of the syndecan-1 in the blood sample and comparing the analyte signal value to a minimum threshold, wherein an analyte signal value less than the minimum threshold indicates that the subject is not internally hemorrhaging, and an analyte signal value above the minimum threshold indicates the subject is internally hemorrhaging. The methods and devices are adapted to rapidly assess internal hemorrhaging and hemorrhagic shock in a patient outside of hospital settings.

Abstract: A method includes retrieving a plurality of indications of cardiac events in a patient, heart rates of the patient during the cardiac events, and durations of the cardiac events. The method also includes selecting a subset of indications from the plurality of indications based on the heart rates of the patient during the cardiac events and the durations of the cardiac events and sorting the subset of indications based on heart rates of the patient during the cardiac event indicated by the subset of indications and based on durations of the cardiac events indicated by the subset of indications to produce a sorted list of indications. The method further includes communicating, from the sorted list, an indication that is first in the sorted list for clinical review.
