Transepidermal Water Loss

2020
Measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is widely used to characterize the water barrier function of skin, both in physiological and pathological conditions, to perform predictive irritancy tests, and to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic treatments on diseased skin.

TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS IN PATIENTS WITH DERMATITIS

British Journal of Dermatology, 1969
SUMMARY.— Using an electrolytic hygrometer, the Transepidermal Water Loss (T.W.L.) from the skin was measured in normal individuals and in patients with dermatitis (eczema). It was found that there was a close correlation between T.W.L. and the state of activity of the dermatitis; and that there was a gradual reduction in abnormally raised T.W.L.

Newborn Transepidermal Water Loss Values: A Reference Dataset

Pediatric Dermatology, 2013
AbstractTransepidermal water loss (TEWL) is a simple noninvasive measurement of inside‐out skin barrier function. The goal of this research was to establish normal values for TEWL in early life using data gathered from the Cork BASELINE Birth Cohort Study. TEWL was recorded in a standardized fashion using a well‐validated open‐chamber system. A mean of

Measurements of Transepidermal Water Loss on Newborn Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1985
Measurement of transepidermal water loss without disturbing the microclimate in the air layers above the skin has not been possible with previously available methods. The introduction of a new instrument, the Evaporimeter, for measuring the vapor pressure gradient above the skin surface meant that the evaporation of water from the skin could be ...

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

2013
The epidermal barrier is the outermost part of our body, or more precisely, of our skin. Approximately 90 % of the barrier function can be attributed to the stratum corneum. The importance of the epidermal barrier and more specifically the stratum corneum with its major components the corneocytes, the intercorneal bilamellar lipids, and the cornified ...

Continuous Transepidermal Water Loss Measurement in Sleeping Infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1987
ABSTRACT. Transepidermal water evaporation rate was measured continuously in 8 infants with the use of an evaporimeter during one night of polygraphic sleep recording. Evaporation rates were significantly lower during REM than during NREM sleep.

A Novel Transepidermal Water Loss Sensor

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2006
Recently, a novel microsensor to measure the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of the human skin has been developed. The sensor is based on an interdigital electrode system covered with a highly hygroscopic salt film. It is mounted inside a closed chamber arrangement in a distance of about 1.4 mm away from the skin.

Transepidermal water loss and skin site: A hypothesis

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2009
The skin has a unique barrier to the ingress of hazardous materials and the egress of water. The barrier properties of the skin reside in the outer 15 microm, the stratum corneum, which has often been regarded as rather inert or even dead. The excellent barrier properties of this thin layer result from its structure which comprises of pentagonal or ...

Transepidermal water loss in adhesive tape induced dermatitis

Contact Dermatitis, 1976
As an index of skin barrier function, transepidermal water loss (TEW) was investigated in subjects reactive to adhesive tapes. Tape reactive subjects showed no difference in TEW in untreated skin when compared to non‐reactive subjects. Plastic tape and transparent tape produced varying degrees of dermatitis in reactive subjects; the TEW was increased ...

Transepidermal water loss in the infant surgical patient

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1981
Evaporative water loss from skin of the newborn surgical patient is a critical factor in overall water balance and an important source of heat loss. We studied 15 infant surgical patients under the following clinical conditions: (1) exposed babies; (2) infants covered by cloth drapes and lying on a cloth blanket; (3) infants covered by a plastic drape ...
