By: Rajesh Varma
Tags: Covid 19, Covid 19 Crisis, Medical, Medical Devices, Doctors

May 2020| Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

The global electrosurgical devices market size is expected to reach USD 7.2 billion in 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Shifting focus of surgeons from conventional surgical procedures toward minimally invasive procedures, such as electrosurgery, and growing competition amongst the participants have high impact on the market’s growth. Entry of local companies in the developing regions is expected to fuel the global market due to availability of affordable equipment.

Electrosurgeries are preferred over conventional procedures owing to advantages such as improved safety and ease of use. These advantages enable the use of such surgeries in sensitive procedures such as those related to neurology and ophthalmology. Electrosurgery is being used in various disciplines, such as gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, and general surgery. In addition, latest electrosurgical equipment enables the performance of procedures outside the operating room. Thus, the demand for these equipment is expected to rise in various disciplines during the forecast period. The growth is expected to experience impediment due to factors such as lack of skilled professionals and high price of the devices. Furthermore, most of the electrosurgical devices are categorized as Class III devices, which take considerably longer time for approval.

Tags: Covid 19, Healthcare, Cancer, Cervical, Doctors

May 2020 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

The global cervical cancer diagnostic market was valued at USD 7 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach a value of USD 12 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The key driving factors include the rising prevalence of cervical cancer, evolving screening technology, and various programs that promote routine check up and screening. According to the data published by the WHO, in 2012, over 270,000 women died due to cervical cancer, majority of which were from the developing countries. It is one of the most common cancer type diagnosed in women. Some of the etiological factors are multiple sex partners, and changing lifestyle, such as drinking & smoking and increased stress levels.

Furthermore, favorable government initiatives and increasing number of awareness programs are further expected to promote the market growth in coming few years. The National Cervical Cancer Coalition, WHO, CDC, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, are working towards promoting the necessity for early screening of cervical cancer amongst mid aged women.

There is an increasing demand for technologically advanced diagnostic procedures that facilitate the early intervention of the disease. The industry players are focused on developing innovative technological solutions for accurate and efficient results. Advancement in screening techniques, such as use of biomarkers, is gaining importance. The upsurge in technological developments is anticipated to further drive industry growth.

To a sample copy of this report, click the link below:

www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/cervical-cancer-diagnostics-market

On account of increasing adoption of Pap test, the number of deaths due to cervical cancer has declined significantly in past few years. It helps detect precancerous lesions at an early state and, thus, reduces the number of cervical cancer cases. The American Cancer Society stated that the cervical cancer cases in last 40 years in the U.S. have declined by more than 50%. Initially, the Pap test screening was carried out every year which lead to further unnecessary procedures. However, the American Cancer Society now recommends that women in the age group of 21 to 29 should undergo Pap test every 3 years.

May 2020 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

The global pancreatic cancer treatment market is expected to reach USD 4.2 billion in 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing tobacco consumption, smoking, obesity, and growing awareness pertaining to various treatment options available are propelling the market growth at a global level. The peak incidence of pancreatic cancer is seen in the age group of 65 to 75 years. Thus, growing geriatric population is also expected to drive the growth during the forecast period.

According to an article published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2015, pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous malignancies and is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Furthermore, pancreatic cancer is expected to be the second common cause of death in the U.S., by 2030. These factors together would propel the market growth in the forecast period.

Lower Blood Pressure May Protect Against Dementia and Cognitive Impairment
By: Jessica Pyhtila
Tags: Dementia, Hypertension, Blood Pressure, Physicians, Doctors

By Jessica Pyhtila, PharmD, BCGP, BCPS

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association explored whether a link exists between blood pressure and dementia or cognitive impairment. Previous studies and meta-analyses have been inconclusive or contradictory, and this meta-analysis attempted to explore a possible link using updated data.

Twelve studies were included in the meta-analysis. Inclusion criteria consisted of randomized clinical trials published before December 31, 2019 in which an antihypertensive agent was compared with a control. Trials needed to have more than 1000 participants, at least 1 year of follow-up, and report outcomes on dementia, cognitive impairment or decline, or change in cognitive test scores. Trials that recruited patients with existing cognition problems were excluded.

Overall, 96,158 participants were represented in the selected studies. The mean age was 69 years and 42% of participants were women. At baseline, the mean blood pressure was 154/83 mmHg. Heterogeneity between the studies was low, with an I2 of 0.0%, and there was no significant difference between subgroups.

The researchers found that participants whose blood pressure was controlled with antihypertensive regimens had a significantly lower risk of cognitive decline. Approximately 20.2% of participants on antihypertensive regimens versus 21.1% of patients not on these regimens had a new diagnosis of cognitive impairment over a mean trial follow-up of 4.1 years (OR, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.88–0.99]). However, there was no significant difference in cognitive test scores between participants on antihypertensive regimens and participants not on these regimens (standardized mean difference, 0.25 [95% CI, −0.10 to 0.61]). This includes patients for whom MMSE scores were reported (mean MMSE score difference, 0.44 [95% CI, −0.22 to 1.10]).

Researchers concluded that there is a significant association between blood pressure lowering and risk of dementia or cognitive impairment. However, they caution that these findings should not be interpreted as definitive evidence. Further, they caution that the impact of blood pressure on dementia risk may be modest, as dementia has a variety of heterogeneous etiologies. That said, they note that uncontrolled hypertension is strongly linked to stroke risk, which itself can cause vascular damage resulting in dementia. Researchers state that large studies with extended timeframes for follow-up will be needed to determine whether antihypertensive treatment influences cognitive outcomes.

We Need to Talk About Sexism in Medicine
By: Elad Simchayoff
Tags: Healthcare, Sexism, Health, Equality, Doctors

It’s Taboo

The British medical association surveyed 2,000 female doctors between the ages of 45–54. These women are going through menopause and the effects that this period in their lives has on their professional career should be alarming to us all.

93% of those participating said they were having menopause symptoms. 66% of those said the effects were both physical and mental. 90% of the doctors surveyed said menopause was affecting their work. Two-fifths said the effect was significant.

The problem starts with the lack of understanding, lack of supporting environment, and lack of confidence these women have to deal with. Dr. Helen Fidler told the Independent: “Menopause is a taboo. It really would not have occurred to me to mention it to my bosses. Two-thirds of consultants are male — the chances are is that your boss is male. People would just be embarrassed and unprepared if you brought it up. There is no training for them in how they might make adjustments.”

Moreover, many of the doctors surveyed said that they felt they would be “laughed at or ridiculed by managers and peers” if they would talk about menopause. Some mentioned that they felt like raising the topic with their male boss would add to the gender bias they already experience.

These are doctors! And they feel like they can not talk to other doctors about a medical issue they are experiencing. It’s hard to even grasp.

So what happens then? Many of them reduce their working hours. Some move to a lower-paying role. Others retire.

We are losing good and experienced doctors due to sexism.

Post — Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Medical Personnel.

Post — Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Medical Personnel.

Several doctors have been actively involved in treating COVID 19 patients for over a period of four months or even more without a break. They have watched some of their patients get well, others improve due to care but all of a sudden, relapse into very critical conditions and eventually die. These exposures to life threatening situations tend to affect these first responders emotionally and even worse psychologically. These experiences after a while tend to manifest as post-traumatic stress disorders — PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD include eating disorder, panic attacks, nightmares, loss of interest in life and daily activities, emotionally numbness and detached from people and so many more.

A few days ago, I watched a female medical doctor who works in Abuja, Nigeria on television and she said she has not been home to see her family for about 8 weeks. She only talks to her children and her husband on the phone. She said she cannot imagine how her children are coping without her though she knows that the husband will cope somehow.

This story caught my attention regarding the experiences of medical personnel in taking care of COVID patients as daily first responders. These ones have risked their lives for the sake of helping someone get well.

Certain activities can help doctors recover from PTSD. Some of these are: support and encouragement from spouses and other family members, meditation and prayers, exercise and taking part in activities they love beyond their profession to take their mind off these stressors.

Doctors and other medical personnel also need emotionally and psychological therapies to remain secure, optimistic and happy to live and be able to treat COVID-19 and other patients. This probably explains why a family friend who is a nurse, who in recent times increased her activity on Facebook sharing hilarious moments, pictures and comments with friends. These conversations on her timeline often crack up anyone that reads her posts.

This is a tribute to all medical personnel who take care of COVID-19 and other ill patients. We love you and will always remember the risks you take to ensure your patients get well.

State fair during pandemic

Photo by Trin Carl

Are you a doctor? I asked my rideshare passenger.

How did you guess?

The suit.

Yes, I decided to wear a tie today.

What area of medicine?

Internal.

Good. You may see me at that clinic. I’m a regular.

Yes. The clinic has been getting overwhelmed lately, the doctor said.

(Long silence as I get on the 🛣 highway)

I’m going to the state fair this weekend in Minnesota. My dad wants to buy a tractor.

Oh, he must have a lot of land.

No. Only two yards.

Oh, I’m surprised that you’d be willing to go to the fair.. what with being not being vaccinated and the chance of COVID.

Yes, but I’m not planning to be mouth to mouth 👄 with anyone.

What do you plan on seeing at the state fair. Goats and 🐔chickens?

I suppose. But I’ll steer clear of the horses. I have allergies, says the doctor.

(We roll up to his destination)

There she is! They left her out for me. He gets out of the car and I wish him luck 🍀 at the state fair.

He strides rather briskly to the entrance of the dealership’s auto repair center and it’s in the moment that I can picture him in his white 🥼 lab coat in a hurry down a long corridor because he’s just received a message STAT to the OR.

Am I the herb for you? Ashwagandha

Tags: Ayurveda, Health, Herbal, Stress, Doctors

Am I the herb for you? Ashwagandha

For anyone interested in leaning more about botanicals and natural supplements, I thought I would do quick herb review. The first herb in the series is Ashwagandha.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha, aka 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘢, is an herb that has been used in ayruvedic medicine for over 3000 years.As a true adaptogen, this herb is believed to improve the body’s response to stress.

Common uses for ashwagandha include:

𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗶𝗮, 𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀.

In a 8 week double-blind randomized, placebo control trial of 64 subjects, ashwagandha was noted to improve chronic stress. Stress was assessed by using subjective assessment scales and cortisol level 🤓 .**

It is generally quite safe but it may have an additive effect with medications commonly used for diabetes, high blood pressure, and anti-depressants. It may also be potentially harmful in people who have prostate cancer, so best to avoid.

Dosing may vary depending on the type of extract. Generally, a safe starting dose is 300mg daily with gradual increase. Because this herb can be mildly sedating, I recommend starting at night first.

If you are looking for more resources on how to start using herbs and botanicals in a safe way, please check out my website/blog.

Until next time,

Shiven Chaudhry, MD 🧘🏽‍♂️👨🏽‍⚕️

**Chandrasekhar, K., Kapoor, J., & Anishetty, S. (2012).

Roles and Responsibilities of a Physician
By: Dr Ryan Majd Gorji
Tags: Medical, Medicine, United States, Physicians, Doctors

Doctors forestall, analyze, and treat different illnesses to improve their patients’ general wellbeing. They are separated into two gatherings of health experts: General Practice Physicians and Specialist Physicians. It is the expert duty of doctors to utilize our clinical information, logical mastery, and moral preparation to work for better patient health. Most doctors and specialists work all day. Numerous doctors and specialists work long, sporadic, and overnight hours. Doctors and specialists may go between their workplaces and emergency clinics to think about their patients. While accessible if the need arises, a doctor may need to address a patient’s interests via telephone or make a crisis visit to a clinic or nursing home.

Dr. Ryan Gorji is a best known General Physician who is situated in the United States and also completed his Medical Degree from Ross University School of Medicine. The thing that intrigues him the most about the field of primary care is the idea that he gets to build long-term relationships with his patients and facilitate their health as they grow. He likes the thought of getting to know the patients on both a personal and professional level.

Essential Responsibilities of Physician:

Here’s a non-comprehensive rundown of basic assignments Physicians are required to finish.

Assessing patients’ clinical history and meds, just as recognizing and posting their side effects:

Planning with some other Physician the patient may be seeing.

Diagnosing ailments, wounds, and other wellbeing issues:

Directing routine tests or potentially physical assessments;

directing or requesting tests (for example research center tests, ultrasounds, electrocardiograms, and x-beams); and

working and observing clinical hardware.

Endorsing and managing suitable medicines (for example prescription, medical procedure, diet, or potentially work out), as per analyze, and alluding the patient to a Specialist Physician for additional assessment as well as therapy, varying:

Giving sedation preceding performing or potentially aiding routine medical procedure or alluding patients to a more specific Surgeon, varying; and

giving clinical help to patients in instances of crisis.

Daily performed task by a Physician:

Diagnosing and treating ailments, wounds, and other wellbeing issues by directing routine tests or potentially physical assessments.

Endorsing and regulating suitable medicines, as per the analysis.

Educating and guiding patients and their family members.

Keeping up exact and definite patient records, observing changes in patients’ condition, and making changes in the line of treatment if the condition doesn’t improve.

Dealing with an interdisciplinary wellbeing group and training them on the best way to execute, organize, and assess tolerant consideration.

Anand Uncle overnight star - Exposing the Herd Mentality and Lack of Scientic Temperment in Indian Population.

747 Doctors, 8000 Paramedic Staff, Thousands of Sanitation staff, Scientists/Virologists at the Laboratories across the nation sacrificed their lives to save the people, another grey side 100’s of them committed suicides due to workload and depression. Pavan Kumar Galiveeti May 22·2 min read

Literally no major posts from Whatsapp University, breaking news from senseless 24x7 rubbish media channels lauding their sacrifice.

Now one Anand uncle came out of the box with a magic concoction mixing some herbs, flowers, fruits and domestic edibles/non-edibles . Indians love this kind of instant solutions like Maggie in 2 minutes, Coffee in 30 seconds likewise Cancer cure in 24 days, COVID negative in 48 hrs. Yes Anand uncle and his magic concoction became overnight star due to this nature and herd mentality of Indians compelling chief minister, Vice President to involve because it's democracy, major voice will prevail even though it's illogical, no-scientific evidence.

This debate is not about Allopathy vs Ayurveda vs Homeopathy Infact AYUSH medicine is also science provided backed with rational reason and scientific backing it's all about foolishness/instant relief/miracles Indians expect from schools of medicine. Hence people like Ramdev with name of Ayurveda are making fools out of people with building a company of 5000 crores. It's the same foolishness/Instant relief making people like Anand uncle over night stars not the Doctors/Nurses/Virologists/Scientists/Sanitation staff who literally spent months saving lives infact sacrificing themselves despite heavy Physical and Mental Toll on them.

Salute to you front line warriors who are working relentlessly from months despite inefficiency, lack of medical infrastructure, opportunist politicians, last but not the least the herd mentality Indian people who never trusts the doctor untill they reach the ICU.
My experience with Ayurveda in Digestive System
By: Dr. Anoop Negi
Tags: Ayurveda, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Piles Treatment, Dehradun Uttarakhand, Doctors

Today educated people too have realized that Ayurveda is an important adjuvant treatment along with any other treatment. In fact, in order to avoid dependency on toxic medicine, people prefer to take modern medicine for short term and switch over to Ayurveda for long-term management of various chronic diseases . For e.g. a diabetic patient & Hypertensive patient who are always prone to develop kidney disease, if they take painkillers, their chances of getting renal failure increases by many fold, similarly those who are not “so old (below 60–65 years) and are suffering from Arthritis & want to postpone knee replacement, for their pain management & for preventing further degeneration of joints & for preventing damages to eyes, kidney, liver, Ayurveda medicines by an expert would be the best option for them. I has been treating all these kinds of disease for last 20 years with practice-based evidence.

Hyperacidity

Excessive smoking and drinking will increase acidity, so cut downthese bad havits. Jaggery, lemon, banana, almonds and yogurt are all known for instant relief from acidity. Shatavari, Yashtimadhu, Amalaki and Sunthi (dry ginger) are effective in treating both acute and chronic indigestion. This ayurvedic combination works by balancing the pH level (acidity) of the stomach relieving the discomfort and pain. A healthy balance of digestive acid leads to the perfect digestion and absorption of any undigested food.

Hepatitis

Nut Grass and Umbrellas Edge suppress hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and clears the hepatitis B virus (HBV) by reverse transcriptase inhibition. It significantly lowers the overall viral load in chronic hepatitis B infection. Further, 6 months extended therapy gives comparatively better results in terms of viral clearance. These drugs reverses the oxidative damage of hepatocytes and exerts an overall hepatoprotective action. It also renormalizes liver functions. Liv 52 HB normalizes liver enzyme levels and restores the hepatic glycogen levels.

IBS

Triphala has long been a mainstay of Ayurvedic medicine. It is an herbal preparation long thought to promote general and digestive health. Chamomile, Aloe Vera juice, Ginger, Fennel Seeds, Turmeric holds high significance in treating Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Piles

Piles are collections of tissue and vein that become inflamed and swollen. The size of piles can vary, and they are found inside or outside the anus. Piles occur due to chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, lifting heavy weights, pregnancy, or straining when passing a stool. Guggul resin is the best known anti-inflammatory herb in Ayurveda. It is also known as Balsamodendron mukul and is one of the best Ayurvedic medicines for piles. It helps in reducing the inflammation in fistula-anorectal and hemorrhoidal conditions .

New Corona Tension: Dance of Black Fungus in India
Tags: Virus, Corona, Health, News, Doctors

In India, some covid-19 patients are developing a rare but dangerous infection black fungus or mucormycosis typically starting in the airways. It spreads through the body influencing the sinuses or lungs at that point bones and body tissue. The organism can moreover assault the eyes and brain on the off chance that cleared out untreated it can be fatal. It’s vital to note that dark organism is amazingly uncommon in India. It ordinarily influences around 900000 individuals a year agreeing to one think about that’s less than one percent of the populace but presently enormous clinics are supposedly diagnosing it. Patients every second day in this ongoing second wave covers patients are especially at risk because their immune system is weakened and that may be contributing to the rise in cases of black fungus in India. The symptoms of mucormycosis that infection is unspecific runny nose fever but then it might turn into a specific sign and that is that the skin gets necrotic and necrotic skin would look black that is why it’s actually called a black fungal disease. It’s not really a black fungus that’s a different class of fungi but it looks black on the skin. More click here

Run the following command to bring up the containers

docker-compose up -d

You should see the following:

Note:

This compose file includes two additional containers called adminer and pg-admin to help connect and view contents of the database - The compose file forwards the default PostgreSQL port (5432) to itself - Adminer is mapped to port 8088 - Pgadmin is on port 8080

Step 4: Connect to the Database

Navigate to: http://localhost:8088/

Login with the database details specified in the compose file in db section

Once you login, you should see contents of your database as shown below, we got nothing.

(Optional) You could also use pgadmin to connect to your db, Navigate to: http://localhost:8080/, and login with details specified in the compose file in pgadmin section

Now you can connect your pgadmin instance by clicking add server as shown below:

Give it a name and then click the connection tab to provide database details (specified in the compose file) as shown below:

Please note that the host name is what you named the database service in the compose file — in this case: db.

Now hit save and start interacting with you database. The pgadmin UI is much better than the adminer one.

This series looks at how to use docker-compose to set up different database.
FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user (postgres)

If you’re trying to create or setup your rails postgreSQL daatabase and getting this error, there may 3 possible reasons for this error. Let’s go through each of them.

1-Make sure you’re using correct credentials

Your username and password for your postgreSQL is provided in ‘database.yml’ file. Move there and make sure you’ve provided your correct username and password fields. If you’ve forgotten your password or even don’t know the password, go for solution below to change password of default user.

2- Change postgres user’s password

PostgreSQL is provided with a default user named ‘postgres’. For this, we will use this role and change its password. Run following command to jump into postgreSQL cmd.

sudo -u postgres psql postgres

Enter your root/sudo password. This will take you to the psql cmd which will be prompted like

postgres=#

Here ‘postgres’ is the username you’re currently logged in with. Now run following command to change password.

\password postgres

This will prompt you to enter your new password for user ‘postgres’ and then will ask you to confirm it by reentering it. You’re done with possible second solution. Go to database.yml file and update password for ‘postgres’ username according to your new password. Now run the command to create DB. If still it gives you the same error, jump to the solution below.

3- Update ‘pg_hba.conf’ file

If both of the above solutions fail, the problem is in your ‘pg_hba.conf’ file. You’ve to edit this file. First we should locate this file so we can edit it. Run following command to locate it.

locate pg_hba.conf

This will show the path where its residing. Copy this path and run the command like this (with complete path, as returned by the above command):

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/.../pg_hba.conf

This will open ‘pg_hba.conf’ in nano editor. Now locate this line in the file and scrolling down.

local all postgres peer

And replace it with:

local all postgres md5

Hit ctrl+o to save the change and ctrl+x to exit the editor program. I’ll suggest you to reopen the file in nano editor to make sure if the change was saved or not (peer replaced with md5 or not).

Now run the following command to reload the posgres service.

sudo service postgresql restart

Give your sudo password and hit enter. Now try creating the DB. And its DONE.

SQL Basics — Monsters using CASE

You have access to two tables named top_half and bottom_half, as follows:

top_half schema

id

heads

arms

bottom_half schema

id

legs

tails

You must return a table with the format as follows:

output schema

id

heads

legs

arms

tails

species

The IDs on the tables match to make a full monster. For heads, arms, legs and tails you need to draw in the data from each table.

For the species, if the monster has more heads than arms, more tails than legs, or both, it is a ‘BEAST’ else it is a ‘WEIRDO’. This needs to be captured in the species column.

All rows should be returned (10).

Tests require the use of CASE. Order by species.

Please use pure SQL, only testing is done in Ruby.

Hint: In SQL, always use single quote. The syntax for CASE is “CASE WHEN END”.

Solution:

select t.id, t.heads, t.arms, b.id, b.legs, b.tails,

(case when (t.heads > t.arms)

or (b.tails > b.legs)

then 'BEAST' else 'WEIRDO' end) as species from top_half t join bottom_half b

on t.id = b.id

order by species;

Data Anti-Patterns — The Import Macro
By: Tim Burns
Tags: Data Governance, Postgresql, Snowflake, Azriusanalytics, Antipattern

Most anti-patterns start with a trip to Stack Overflow, or better yet, Github. Say I need to import data into my analysis, and I want the quickest way that gets me data. The world of code snippets and spreadsheets has made it easy for me to import data and produce data products without much effort.

What are data anti-patterns? They’re solutions that look reasonable but perhaps don’t scale, aren’t secure, introduce quality issues, or some other affront to good data governance.

No one sets out to implement an anti-pattern. Say the election is coming up; it is! And I need some data for analysis.

Rather than bother the data engineers to load the data I need, why not find a spreadsheet macro on Github and import it into my model myself?

I use the reputable data source FiveThirtyEight and embed the polling data I need in my spreadsheet.

Anti-pattern implemented. I have the data; it’s small, so it loads quickly, and I can begin my analysis. Here are some issues: I’ve prevented someone from checking or monitoring my data. I’ve also precluded myself from tracking the evolution of this data.

How to fix it? For starters, a staging location should be shared, reliable, and secured. In AWS, stage the data on S3. In Azure, it will be blob storage. On Google, it will be a cloud storage bucket.

A spreadsheet is not a substitute for a database. The crucial statement to determine if a database is good enough is, “does it support the COPY statement?” Postgres will scale to the TeraByte level, and databases like Snowflake allow you to separate data processing from data storage.

Follow these best practices:

Create a Stage Copy the Data into the Stage Table with the table name for uniqueness on row and don’t delete or overwrite this data

copy into OWLMTN.STAGE.SENATE_POLLS (FILENAME,

FILE_ROW_VARCHAR,

question_id, ...

candidate_party,

pct

)

from (

select METADATA$FILENAME filedate,

METADATA$FILE_ROW_NUMBER filename,

t.$1, ...

t.$37,

t.$38

from @owlmtn.stage.FIVE_THIRTY_EIGHT_POLLS t

)

pattern = 'stage/fivethirtyeight/polls/SENATE_POLLS_.*\.csv'

on_error = continue

force = false

file_format = (field_optionally_enclosed_by = '"'

type = 'csv'

field_delimiter = ','

skip_header = 1

encoding = 'utf-8');

Conclusion

Anti-patterns often only become visible at scale. Solutions from Stack Overflow or Github can introduce serious operational problems into your data infrastructure. When solving a data problem, utilize your organizational infrastructure. If you don’t have one, start with a reliable SQL database that supports COPY.

In the case of the FiveThirtyEight election data, the anti-pattern will bring the election data into my spreadsheet, but that data will be useless soon. By storing the data in a relational store and keeping all the data, I can use the historical data to validate the model after November 3.
