UHMS ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING
13-16 JUNE 2001
ADAM’S MARK HOTEL, SAN ANTONIO,
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
THE SOCIETY
Founded in 1967, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society is actively engaged in the advancement of undersea medicine, clinical hyperbaric medicine, and support sciences. The Society provides an international forum for professional scientific communication among individuals and groups involved in basic and applied studies concerned with the undersea environment and with the treatment of specific medical disorders with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
PROGRAM PLAN
Preliminary plans include a program of symposia, poster sessions, original papers and discussion. One of the goals of this meeting is to integrate the fields of hyperbaric and diving medicine. A joint introductory lecture will be scheduled each morning followed by a panel discussion.
As always, the meeting will include the Suzanne Kronheim Lecture and the UHMS annual business meeting. The Annual Awards banquet is scheduled for Saturday, June 16, 2001 in the Texas Ballroom.
For those interested in diving physiology, Dr. James Francis will chair a one day pre-course on Acute Management of Decompression Accidents. The course will be held on Wednesday, June 13, 2001. The course will cover current controversies: the assessment and classification of diving casualties; immediate treatment and options; recompression on site -versus- evacuation to distant hospital-based chambers; the consequences of delay; recompression algorithms and treatment failures; treatment results and audit; et cetera.
Immediately following the meeting, there will be a workshop on the topic “Epilepsy and Diving” chaired by Drs. Hugh Greer and Charles“Chip” Auker. This workshop will be held Sunday, June 17, 2001.
PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS
The preliminary program will be mailed in March to all UHMS members and to nonmember advance registrants. A full program with abstracts will be handed out to all registrants at the meeting.
SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS - DEADLINE: January 15, 2001
Abstracts of communication are invited from members of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society and any individual involved in hyperbaric or diving research. Abstracts submitted for the 2001 UHMS Meeting should not have been published nor presented before national or international meetings prior to this meeting.
Abstracts should be submitted electronically via e-mail; alternatively by mail via diskette. Abstracts must be no longer than 300 words, exclusive of title, author, and institutions. A hard copy of the abstract should only be sent by authors who do not have access to e-mail or computer. This copy should be camera-ready on plain white paper. The abstract should be 3½” wide. Please use a 9 point font, if possible. Instructions for preparing abstracts are included in this packet. The Abstract Submission Form may be mailed, faxed or, preferably, scanned into an email.
QUALITY OF CONTENT FOR SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS
Abstracts will be selected for presentation on the basis of quality. The goal of each presentation should be to present results of studies on current developments and problems in an area of undersea biomedical research or hyperbaric medicine. Presentations should emphasize the significance of the results and general principles involved rather than ordinary methods and procedures.
Abstracts which describe results of studies must contain the following components: a) background and the study's specific objective, b) materials and methods, c) a description of the results, and d) a conclusion. It is not satisfactory to state "The results will be discussed." Incomplete abstracts, or abstracts not in the appropriate format will be returned to the authors.
Case reports should describe how the case relates to known facts about the disease.
The Program Committee will assign accepted communications to either slide sessions or poster sessions. Although authors are asked to indicate their presentation preference, the Program Committee will decide, within the limitations of time and space, how the abstract will be programmed in order to form a coherent program on the basis of the relationship of other reports offered.
POSTER DISCUSSION SESSIONS
Authors scheduled in poster sessions will be assigned poster board space for the display of illustrative materials (graphs, charts and tabular matter), and are expected to be in attendance at the poster board for a designated period of time to discuss their work with interested colleagues. During each poster session, there will be a poster discussion which will be organized by the Program Committee. The accepted abstract will be published in the usual manner in the Program/Abstract book regardless of whether the abstract will be presented in a poster or slide session. The space and time allocation for each presentation will be indicated in the printed program with the usual listing of abstract title and author(s). Further details on the preparation of poster sessions will be mailed to the authors.
PAPER TOPICS FOR SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS
To assist the Program Committee in organizing abstracts into sessions, please indicate in the electronic or diskette copy, the topics to which your paper is most closely related. Your abstract will be returned if you do not designate a topic. The list is not intended to be restrictive; any other topic may be specified and listed as #10 Miscellaneous.

5. Thermal Environment/Metabolism (Heat, Cold, Thermal Protection)
6. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Clinical Applications (Intravascular Gas Embolism, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, Wound Healing, Soft Tissue and Bone Infection, Oxygen Dose/Treatment Tables, Economic Considerations)
7. Physiological and Biochemical Effects of Oxygen, Basic Studies (Micro-biological Host Factors, Wound Healing, Changes in Immune Function, Bone Formation, Myovascularization, Membrane Permeability, Vasoconstriction, Oxygen Toxicity)

10. Miscellaneous Topics
PRESENTATION OF PAPERS
Presenting authors will be notified in February 2001 of disposition of the abstract, and time for presentation, if programmed. It is preferred that selected papers be presented and discussed by the first-named author.
A standard 2" x 2" slide projector, power point projection, and an overhead projector will be available in the session rooms. Other equipment can be made available if essential to the presentation provided the author indicates this in the appropriate space on the submission form. Projection equipment cannot be provided for Poster Sessions.
