The number of studies for other countries is limited. Krentz et al. (2003) analyzed the provider costs of providing medical care to patients with HIV/AIDS in Southern Alberta Canada) between April 1995 and April 2001. The authors collected all patient-specific provider costs including the cost of drugs (HIV and non-HIV drugs), outpatient care (including physician costs and laboratory testing), and...

Claims for acute hydrogen sulfide exposure that occurred over a 5-year period (1969-1973) in Alberta, Canada, primarily among petrochemical workers, were reviewed by Burnett et al. (1977). Acute effects noted included coma, disequilibrium, and respiratory insufficiency with pulmonary edema. Of 221 cases, there were 14 deaths. A follow-up study of 250 workers claims for hydrogen sulfide exposure from 1979 to 1983 in Alberta, Canada, found 7 fatalities that usually involved the central nervous and respiratory systems hepatic congestion and cardiac petechiae were also noted (Arnold et al. 1985). The difference in fatality rate (6% down to 2.8%) was attributed to improved first aid training and an increased awareness of the dangers of hydrogen sulfide. 

The uppermost bedrock in northwest Alberta consists of a Cretaceous succession of nearly horizontal and poorly-indurated marine shales of the Fort St. John Group (Loon River and Shaftesbury formations) and Smoky Group, separated by deltaic to marine sandstones of the Dunvegan Formation (Okulitch 2006). A large structural feature, the Great Slave Lake Shear Zone (GSLSZ) cuts across the study area (Eaton Hope 2003).

Ute Kothe studied biochemistry in Regensburg, Bochum, and Witten in Germany and completed her studies with a diploma in 2002. For her Ph.D. Ute Kothe worked under the supervision of Marina Rodnina at the Institute of Physical Biochemistry, University of Witten/Herdecke, Germany, where she studied the accuracy of ribosomal protein synthesis. Since 2006, Ute Kothe is an assistant professor of biochemistry at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

Abstract Chronological studies of kimberlite-host rocks in the diamondiferous Buffalo Head Hills kimberlite field of north-central Alberta facilitate new interpretation of the nature, timing and sequence of kimberlite eruptions in northern Alberta. Three different emplacement episodes are recognized in association with volcanic and intrusive activity Late Cretaceous ( 88-81 Ma) Smoky Group equivalent intra- and extra-crater facies, Late Cretaceous and Paleocene ( 81 and 64 Ma) intrusion of sills or dykes, and Paleocene ( 60 Ma) Paskapoo Formation equivalent intra-crater facies. These specific periods of magmatism correspond to characteristic intra-field features such as spatial distribution, rock classification and diamond content.
