Thank you, Internet, for bringing a new containerized hyperbaric rescue system to our attention. Add PBUCH S.A., out of Poland, to HyperbaricLink's list of other manufacturers of hyperbaric chambers. PBUCH is short for Przedsiebiorstwo Budowy Urzadzen Chlodniczych, or "Company Plant Engineering," as near as we can tell. Designed to treat decompression sickness (DCS) and for training of submarine

Gina Kolata in the New York Times serves up a fine explanation of an important new Alzheimer's study. The study was published today in Nature [doi:10.1038/nature11283] and conducted by a predominantly Scandinavian group representing Genentech and deCODE genetics, based in Reykjavik, Iceland. The research confirms that the buildup of beta amyloid drives the disease and identifies a rare gene
