High impact information on Nova Scotia

This study was carried out on 289 Holstein cows from five herds in Prince Edward Island and one herd in Nova Scotia. Composite milk samples of these cows were collected (between May and September 2002) from the respective provincial laboratories and sent to the Atlantic Veterinary College where each sample was tested for antibodies to O [1].
For Nova Scotia, the disease-specific registry of the Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes in Nova Scotia (ICONS) study was used to obtain discharge medications of individuals consecutively hospitalized with a diagnosis of CHF [2].
We also established links to the clinical database maintained by the Nova Scotia Early Psychosis Program (NSEPP) [3].
Steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis in the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever [4].
Pharmacare data were compared with prevalence data on increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations obtained from the Nova Scotia Heart Health Survey (NSHHS) [5].

Biological context of Nova Scotia

Surveys to determine mutant allele frequencies in domestic cats of the Canadian Atlantic Provinces (Halifax, Nova Scotia; Fredericton, New Brunswick; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; St. John's Newfoundland) and the French colony of Saint Pierre, Saint Pierre et Miquelon, reveal a general regional homogeneity for most factors [6].

Associations of Nova Scotia with chemical compounds

Both the occurrence of Atlantic salmon in Nova Scotia rivers and the breeding success of Common Loons in Ontario lakes are in fact declining although factors beyond acidification also play a role [7].
Ovine ill-thrift in Nova Scotia. 9. Production of experimental quantities of isocyanide metabolites of Trichoderma hamatum [8].
Eleven hundred Bacillus strains isolated from marine sediment from the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada, were purified on LB agar supplemented with ampicillin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, or mercuric chloride [9].
Succinylcholine sensitivity in a Nova Scotia family [10].

Gene context of Nova Scotia

The primary purpose of this study was to assess whether Sydney, Industrial Cape Breton County excluding Sydney (ICBxS) and Cape Breton County (CBCo) residents were at increased risk for cancer compared to Nova Scotia (NS) residents over five-year periods during 1979 through 1997 [11].
