These appraisals are classified into disease categories and present the evidence in a standard way to enable rapid and meaningful comparisons between trials.

We are always on the lookout for new trials or those we may have missed. If you know of any (human) RCTs in this area please contact us at [m.bennett@unsw.edu.au]
Evidence link: to evidence-based review of many HBOT indications (MD thesis of Mike Bennett)

Latest CATSNew evidence that HBO is effective for radiation cystitis (Oscarsson 2019), sudden hearing loss (Hu 2020

More evidence that adding HBOT to good wound care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers (Kumar 2020) but unconvincing evidence that transcutaneous oxygen improves with the addition of HBOT (Wadee 2020)

Disappointing study of HBOT for crush injury failed to compare the two groups after treatment! (Oley 2021) and a further report of some benefit from HBOT after severe head trauma (Zhong 2020). 

Some further weak evidence that fibromyalgia may improve with HBOT (Izquierdo 2020 and Curtis 2021). 

More pieces of the puzzle of dropping BSL in the chamber during treatment. HBO but not HB Air increases insulin sensitivity (Wilkinson 2020). Another suggests weak evidence for a benefit of adding HBO to radio-iodine oesophageal stents to treat cancer (Zhang 2020)

Whither 2022? Well, the hard times continue but the light at the end of the tunnel may or may not be an oncoming train.

The SPUMS Annual Scientific Meeting is not going ahead as planned in NZ unfortunatley, but plans are afoot for another 'stand-in meeting' somewhere. Check the SPUMS Website for details: Home | SPUMS 
The UHMS ASM 2022 is planned for Reno Nevada 22 to 26 May: | UHMS web site

The EUBS ASM in 2022 is in Prague but dates are not yet available. Check on their website: European Underwater and Baromedical Society – The EUBS is the European scientific society dedicated to the study and promotion of diving and hyperbaric medicine 

The Baltic International Symposium on DHM is now scheduled for June 9th to the 11th 2022 in Gdynia, Poland. See details at  http://www.bisdhm.events
