Transepidermal Water Loss of Human Newborns [PDF]
Transepidermal water loss (TWL) measurements of healthy human term newborns were determined by resistance hygrometry. The average TWL of newborn upper back skin was found to be slightly but significantly lower than the TWL of comparable adult back skin.

The Effect of Ambient Humidity on Transepidermal Water Loss [PDF]
Sweating was abolished and the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measured at constant skin temperature. TEWL was not greatly affected by rising ambient humidity (RH) in 18 subjects. There was a 2-3 fold increase in the rate of TEWL when RH was raised from the initial 2-3% to 30-50%. By 73-77% RH the TEWL had fallen to or near the initial rate.

Transepidermal Water Loss as a Function of Skin Surface Temperature [PDF]
Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was measured as a function of skin temperature, using human cadaver skin in modified skin diffusion chambers. A formula was derived to allow conversion of TEWL at any skin temperature to a standard reference temperature. This formula permits more accurate comparison of TEWL within and between subjects.

Transepidermal water loss does not correlate with skin barrier function in vitro [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between transepidermal water loss and skin permeability to tritiated water ((H2O)-H-3) and the lipophilic penetrant sulfur mustard in vitro .

Infant skin-cleansing product versus water : a pilot randomized, assessor-blinded controlled trial [PDF]
Background The vulnerability of newborn babies' skin creates the potential for a number of skin problems. Despite this, there remains a dearth of good quality evidence to inform practice.

Transepidermal Water Loss during Sleep in Infants [PDF]
Transepidermal water evaporation rate (ER) was measured in 207 infants with a mean postnatal age of 12.7 +/- 10.6 weeks. Measurements were made from the forehead with the use of an Evaporimeter during polygraphic sleep recordings performed under standard conditions. ER values were computed in g/m2 X h.

Back to basics: biophysical methods in tissue viability research [PDF]
The continued growth of research in the areas of tissue viability and wound care has led to the development of an equally diverse range of techniques to assess wounds and provide some quantitative measure of healing. These range from highly sophisticated
