  • What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?

    The authors reported and argued that:

    Since it has been possible to venture into the deep ocean, it has been science that has determined how far we could delve. As our technology and understanding of the deep oceans grew, so did our ability to deal with the challenges of going underwater. These advancements in understanding have not only allowed us explore the oceans that cover 70% of our planet, but have also enabled us to attempt to treat some previously untreatable diseases on dry land. Much is unknown about the physiological consequences of going underwater on our bodies, but the applications of many things we do understand are becoming apparent. The authors reviewed the literature in relation to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which is extremely important in this scientific area..

    Yes


  • Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?
