st: import csv, retain headers Stata11.2
Mon, 8 Apr 2013 14:12:57 +0100
Hi all,
I'm using Stata 11.2 and have potentially multiple .csv files relating to different regions of a country to import into Stata. For the main part, the variables in each dataset are comparable, but their names are not identical. I wish to run a series of summary commands on each variable held within the data and output the results. While I can 'copy and paste' the data from Excel into an empty spreadsheet and retain the heading title of each variable, I would rather automate this. However, using -insheet- results in a loss of variable names. I cant easily use -infile- as the point is I don't know the exact names of the variables in each .csv file to specify.
I've Googled this problem and not been able to find a solution. Does anyone have one.
PS, upgrading to Stata 12 is not even remotely possible at the moment!
Best wishes

To the Priest, He's the Doctor
Quick drabble-y thing I threw together for my highschool lit-mag publication. I'm a little nervous about sharing it, so I'd like to get some feedback first...Help me out?
If Thou, O Lord, shalt observe iniquities; Lord, who shall endure it?
Psalm 129
He's a happy-looking young doctor.
His hair is kempt and he always makes sure he has a clean, ironed dress shirt to wear under his white coat. He sports eccentric socks but keeps them hidden under a pair of slacks or, on days he's feeling lazy, khakis. He usually sees forty-three patients per day, but today he sees forty-four.
She was a child, no older than six. The sundress she wore was decorated with sunflowers and bows that were as big as her smile. Her name was something like Felicity but that isn't terribly important, and she was wearing a wig.
She's standing patiently outside his office door when he walks up, and he has to remind himself not to smile at her because most people just let themselves inside. He opens the door for her but doesn't say anything; she skips past him into the room and helps herself to one of the chairs opposite his desk. She starts swinging her legs.
He sits at his office chair and taps the space bar on his keyboard to bring the computer monitor to life. "I like your socks," says the girl.
"Thank you," he replies quietly. The little girl beams at him.
It's dark outside, and the hall beyond his glass office doors is empty, as all of the daytime attendants have left for the night and the nocturnal shift has not yet arrived. The emergency wing is nowhere near him; the wail of sirens, though a constant break in the silence, is muffled and distant.
"I think I should go home now," says the girl. "It's almost bedtime."
He closes his eyes against her voice, and the light from the monitor turns to a runny confusion of blue and black streaks. He's lost interest in what he's reading, can't even remember what it is but thinks vaguely that it's probably her file.
The girl hops down from the chair and he watches her as she leaves. Someone had placed a headband on her head, and her corkscrew curls bounce behind her. She turns into a hospital room and leaves the door open.
He breathes deeply. His throat is burning, but he swallows back the sensation and drops his head in his hands. It doesn't feel at all liberating to muss his carefully kept hairline with the pads of his fingers.
The doctor walks the halls of the cancer ward, later. He has a clipboard under his arm that one of the night shift attendants has handed him, on which all twenty-two names of the ward's patients are checked off neatly.
The fluorescent lights in the little girl's room are still on, even as she sleeps. On his way back to his office, he pauses for a moment to look in on her. She lays with her head pillowed on folded hands, her wig slightly askew. His shoulders feel heavy as he turns out the lights.
He lingers in the doorway. A passing attendant gives him a confused look, and he smiles kindly to send her on her way; she leaves, and thinks nothing of it until later, when the daytime shift comes in and he still hasn't left his office.

Quebec Has Worst ER Wait Times In The Western World: Report
QUEBEC — A report by Quebec's health and welfare commissioner says the province has the worst emergency room wait times in the western world.
The report, released Thursday, says 35 per cent of patients in the province must wait five hours or more for care, compared to 15 per cent in Ontario, five per cent in the United States and Germany and two per cent in Switzerland.

Health commissioner Robert Salois described the province's emergency rooms as chronically overcrowded and accused authorities of lacking the leadership and will to tackle the problem.
The report found that 1.5 million emergency room visits surpassed the Health Department's maximum wait time in 2015-2016, amounting to 13 million extra hours spent waiting for care.
10 per cent don't even see a doctor
In Quebec, 10 per cent of emergency-room patients leave the hospital without having seen a doctor. In certain hospitals, the figure rises to more than 30 per cent.
Salois said the government should study the 20 or so Quebec hospitals with good results and implement their practices across the province.
Commissioner calls problem 'socially unacceptable'
In the report, Salois claims overcrowding in emergency rooms has become a chronic, "socially unacceptable'' problem that has gone on far too long.
Its nine recommendations include an increased role for nurses. Others would adjust the number of doctors based on patient volume in emergency rooms and ensure family clinics are open on evenings and weekends.
Quebec Health Minister Gaetan Barrette said the report was "nothing new'' and the solutions were the same as his own. He said many of the recommendations were already about to be implemented.Also On HuffPost:
Many women start to feel like they're dragging in their late 30s and 40s. They're losing testosterone, which may act as an antidepressant, and experiencing a flux in their levels of estrogen and progesterone, which may also influence mood and energy. One of the most effective tactics for perking up comes down to how you plan your meals. "Many of my clients seem to think that by filling one meal with energy-generating nutrients -- say, a green smoothie for breakfast or a salad at lunch -- they've done their duty for the day," says dietitian Ashley Koff. "But your body needs several energy pit stops so you can refuel." Koff suggests small meals every three hours that combine a variety of nutrients. Her energy-boosting meal plan: Breakfast: Oatmeal with hempseeds. A.M. snack: Half cup of cottage cheese with berries. Lunch: Half a turkey sandwich with salad. P.M. snack: Half cup of tuna salad with wheat crackers. Dinner: Wild salmon with nonstarchy veggies.
Two free surefire solutions: diet and exercise. Losing even a few pounds can provide tremendous relief. One study found that for every pound you drop, you take four pounds of pressure off your knees. "Low-impact exercises -- walking, swimming, cycling -- help maintain a healthy weight and muscle mass as well as release endorphins, all of which can lead to a decrease in pain," says Roxanne Wallace, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin.
Down, girl. As long as you have no open wounds, you can welcome Sparky's affection. "A healthy immune system is strong enough to fight off most bacteria in a pet's saliva," says Jennifer Gabriele, a vet at Heart of Chelsea Animal Hospital in New York City.

Sorry, cupcake, it doesn't look good. Too much of the sweet stuff can wreak havoc on your entire body. Added sugars have been associated with inflammation, a condition linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. In fact, a 2014 study found that people who consumed 17 to 21 percent of their daily calories from added sugar had a 38 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease than those who got only 8 percent. For most women, the American Heart Association recommends no more than 100 calories from added sugar daily.
You can ignore the old eight-glasses rule: Six is typically plenty to hydrate you and keep everything in working order, according to a review in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
You may have small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a condition common among those suffering from chronic bloating. SIBO can occur when bacteria in the colon migrate up into the small intestine and ferment the carbs passing through, creating gas. Consider switching to a diet low in fermentable foods (which include dairy, wheat, and high-fructose fruits) so the bacteria will have less to feast on, says Johns Hopkins gastroenterologist Gerard E. Mullin, MD, author of The Gut Balance Revolution. Research has shown that the plan works: A study in the journal Gastroenterology found that the majority of subjects with irritable bowel syndrome reported significantly less bloating when they followed a diet low in bacteria-loving foods.
"If you misrepresent the facts, you limit what your doctor can do for you," says Lissa Hirsch, MD, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Some of your lies will be revealed by your blood work or the number on the scale, but otherwise your doctor has nothing to go on but what you report -- and that could be dangerous. Say you fib and tell her you're following a diet and exercise program to lower your blood sugar. When your "plan" doesn't seem to be working, she may prescribe medication you don't need, unwittingly putting you at risk for unnecessary side effects. In other words, when your pants are on fire, you'll be the one who gets burned.
Depends on what you're eating, says health reporter Catherine Price, who spent three years putting that question to more than a dozen top doctors and researchers for her recent book, Vitamania: Our Obsessive Quest for Nutritional Perfection. "If you're eating a good amount of foods naturally rich in vitamins, like produce, and those that are fortified, like cereal or bread, a multivitamin is probably superfluous," she says.* But if you do decide to take one, keep in mind that the FDA doesn't test dietary supplements to ensure that what's on the label is actually what's in the bottle. Check for a seal that says NSF or USP VERIFIED -- both are respected third-party companies that vitamin-makers can pay to review their products. *A multivitamin containing folic acid is always a good idea for women during their reproductive years.
Of course no one has a magic formula, but Marie Bernard, MD, deputy director of the National Institute on Aging, has a few ideas: See your doctor regularly. "At the turn of the 20th century, the average American life-span was about 45 to 50 years," says Bernard. "Today people live well into their 70s and beyond, and many experts believe that increase is due in part to preventive health measures." Maintain friendships. A new Brigham Young University review revealed that social isolation increases your risk of mortality by up to 32 percent -- on par with obesity. Learn a new skill. A recent University of Texas at Dallas study found that people who mastered a new and challenging skill (like digital photography or quilting) showed greater gains in memory than those who performed passive activities, like crossword puzzles. So get out there and start learning!

Massive 3200 Year Old Tree
This special tree nicknamed 'The President', measures 45,000 cubic feet and stands at 247 feet tall.
In California Sierra Nevada, there is a 3, 200 year old sequoia tree that rises at 247 feet and is nicknamed the President. There are two others with wide trunks but they do not have a large crown like the president's. When standing forward on the top branches of the tree, one of the scientists looks taller than other climbers.

The sequoia tree measures 45,000 cubic feet, stands at 247feet tall and is estimated to be 3,200 years old. It has a 27 feet wide trunk and its branches (which are mighty) hold 2 billion needles. This is the most any tree has held in the planet. The tree also adds a cubic meter of wood every year, which categorizes him among the world's fastest growing trees.
The giant Sequoias can only be found on the western slopes of Sierra Nevada, California. The president and other smaller trees make up this home and are above sea level at 5000-8000 ft.
The tree had for many years never been captured in its entirety. Photographers from the National Geographic worked with a team of scientist to do this. They used a set of levers and pulleys to scale the tree.
They measured different heights of the trunk, limbs, burls and branches. They counted cones and armed with this information, used mathematical models informed by information from other sequoias. The president, as they found out, contains 54,000 cubic feet of bark and wood. The tree according to this team is the largest (if you take into account its width) in the world. 32 days later the team had stitched up 126 separate photos together, to produce a breathtaking portrait of this Sequoia tree.
Large Format Prints at: NationalGeographicCart.com
The president amazed the team. It's a historical tree that has seen generations come and go while it still stands tall and growing. It's been through storms, heavy rains, heavy snows, enduring cold, lightning strikes -but it's still growing faster than ever.

We need a reliable pipeline of specialist STEM skills; but we also need informed workers, users and consumers who have the curiosity and imagination to be part of the broader STEM economy. This must be underpinned by lifetime engagement for all Australians with STEM, beginning in childhood and constantly renewed as knowledge and technologies expand (Office of the Chief Scientist STEM: Australia's Future, September 2014, p21).
STEM touches every aspect of our lives, from our smartphones to the technologies that enable us to explore the world around us and outer space.
It also drives innovation in our fast-changing global economy.
To succeed in this environment, and for Queensland to continue to prosper into the future, our students need a strong foundation in STEM.
A strategy for STEM in Queensland state schools is available that details the Queensland Government's plan for the direction of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
With employment in STEM growing two times faster than non-STEM occupations, key aspects of the strategy focus on:
The STEM strategy aligns with Advancing education: An action plan for education in Queensland.
The strategy is further complimented by #codingcounts which focuses on coding and robotics in Queensland schools.
One hundred and sixteen state primary and high schools 16K including some clusters of schools, will share in 100 Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow grants.
The schools or cluster of schools each receive or share in a $16,600 grant to nurture the next generation of digital entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurial skills are essential to drive innovation, productivity and global awareness.
Schools will use their coding, robotics and entrepreneurial programs to provide opportunities for students to create innovative digital solutions and to connect with industry expertise.
Schools will build students' entrepreneurial skills through real world experiences by inspiring them to be the creators of Queensland's future.
The STEM hub brings together information, resources and advice for students and parents wanting to learn more about STEM.
Visit the hub to find out more about:
Twenty-two Year 10 girls from around Queensland attended the inaugural STEM Girl Power Camp in Brisbane in March 2016. Applicants were assessed on their engagement and participation in leadership and STEM-related activities.
The camp coincided with the World Science Festival, where students were involved in a range of STEM experiences.
Camp attendees continue to act as STEM ambassadors throughout the year at their school and in the wider community.
In 2015, the Queensland Government commenced a review of STEM in state schools to investigate the ways in which STEM is taught and how to improve the connections between research, best practice and existing school practices.
This interim report 3.8M is based on a survey of Queensland state school principals and an academic literature review conducted by Griffith University about international best practice in STEM education.
The report suggests future directions for investigation including:
The STEM review is due for completion by the end of 2016.

Dermatitis herpetiformis, an itchy, stinging skin condition associated with celiac disease, can be mistaken for various other skin conditions, and it can be difficult to diagnose.

When you have dermatitis herpetiformis ("DH" for short), your body reacts to the gluten protein found in the grains wheat, barley, and rye by attacking your skin. This attack results in the rash you see on your body.

Dermatitis herpetiformis isn't the only skin condition that's linked to celiac disease. Eczema—an itchy, scaly skin rash that's common in children but also occurs in adults—may be associated with celiac disease (and to non-celiac gluten sensitivity). And psoriasis—an autoimmune skin condition that leads to thick, red, scaly plaques on your skin that can be painful—also shares a strong link with celiac and gluten sensitivity.

However, dermatitis herpetiformis has the strongest link with celiac disease: if you've been diagnosed with this skin condition, you almost certainly have celiac disease. Dermatitis herpetiformis is treated with the gluten-free diet, and sometimes (especially immediately following diagnosis) with medication.

You'll need a skin biopsy to determine for certain if you have the condition. But you may be able to get an idea of whether it's a possibility by looking at these photos of different dermatitis herpetiformis cases.

When dermatitis herpetiformis is severe, the lesions often are topped with clear, fluid-filled blisters that pop easily when scratched (and it's pretty difficult not to scratch this itchy rash). The liquid in those blisters contains white blood cells, which are drawn to the area as a result of the autoimmune attack on the skin.

In this person, dermatitis herpetiformis appeared on the abdomen. In most cases, the rash will be symmetrical, which means it occurs on both sides of your body at once. In other words, if you have it on one side of your abdomen, you'll have it on the other side too, as this person does. However, if your rash isn't symmetrical, it doesn't necessarily rule out dermatitis herpetiformis.

Dermatitis herpetiformis frequently affects the knees and elbows — again, usually in a symmetrical fashion (both sides of the body simultaneously). Although the gluten-free diet is the only recommended long-term treatment for the rash, the medication Dapsone can offer short-term relief for dermatitis herpetiformis sufferers. Unfortunately, though, Dapsone carries some significant risks, and doctors generally recommend you stay on it only for long enough to bring the rash under control and learn to eat gluten-free.

This severe case of dermatitis herpetiformis was seen in a four-year-old child, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The photo — like the second slide — shows the fluid-filled blisters that often appear as part of the skin condition. Clinicians had thought until recently that the rash appeared almost exclusively in adults, but recent research shows children suffer from it, as well.

This person has the itchy rash on their elbow and forearm. As the lesions begin to heal, they'll usually turn from deep red to a shade of purple. Fading can take months, and even the tiniest amount of gluten consumption can aggravate the rash, causing it to flare up again.

This person has dermatitis herpetiformis lesions covering most of the legs and arms. The rash can be mistaken for several other conditions, including hives, acne, scabies, eczema and even bug bites or poison ivy (it's certainly as itchy as the itchiest of bug bites and poison ivy).

Although dermatitis herpetiformis more commonly is found on larger body parts (the buttocks, legs, knees, elbows, back, abdomen and scalp are the most frequent sites for this itchy rash), you sometimes can have it on your hands and thumb (where it can be very uncomfortable).

This person's hand is swollen and discolored by dermatitis herpetiformis, showing that while the gluten rash doesn't usually occur on the hand, it can appear anywhere on the body. Fortunately, the two treatments for dermatitis herpetiformis (Dapsone and the gluten-free diet) will work on the rash regardless of where it occurs on your body.
