Uterine Doppler studies: technology driven data, or answers to our pathophysiological queries?
نویسنده
چکیده
Knowledge in medicine has always depended on the investigative tools available at any given time. This explains that our understanding of pathophysiology has most often progressed by frog leaps, reflecting the successive technological innovations bestowed upon the various fields of medicine, such as ours. The integration of new technological innovations normally follows a standard process whereby the new tools are first tested and their potential virtues tried out in sets of pilot and feasibility trials. This preliminary step normally offers a clearer view of the novel technologies’ actual merits, potential clinical applications and usefulness for answering outstanding pathophysiological queries. In the case of uterine Doppler however, we seem to be still at the first step of this process, dealing today with proof of principle trials that attempt to delineate the potential uses and applications of uterine Doppler in gynecology. It sometimes seems that uterine Doppler never succeeded in leaving the teething stage and either reaching maturity and clinical usefulness, or falling forever into oblivion. And this is particularly odd, as in the mean time, Doppler technologies have become widely available to all of us, being a common adjunct to most gynecological ultrasound machines available today.

Data Streams are infinite, fast, time-stamp data elements which are received explosively. Generally, these elements need to be processed in an online, real-time way. So, algorithms to process data streams and answer queries on these streams are mostly one-pass. The execution of such algorithms has some challenges such as memory limitation, scheduling, and accuracy of answers. They will be more ...
