From a clinical standpoint, TEWL measurements are of great importance in evaluating skin barrier functionality. [2] Often normal rates of TEWL – from 2.3 g/(m 2 h) to 44 g/(m 2 h) [ 3 ] – are compromised due to injury, infection and/or severe damage as in the case of burns causing rates over 50 or even over 100 g/m 2 /h.

Maceration is defined as the softening and breaking down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture. It was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot in 1877. [1] [2] Maceration is caused by excessive amounts of fluid remaining in contact with the skin or the surface of a wound for extended periods.
They absorb water from humid air (when >70% humidity) to moisturize the skin. More commonly, however, they draw out water from the dermis into the epidermis, making deeper skin dryer.

In organic chemistry, a hydrate is a compound formed by the hydration, i.e. "Addition of water or of the elements of water (i.e. H and OH) to a molecular entity". [5] For example: ethanol , CH 3 −CH 2 −OH , is the product of the hydration reaction of ethene , CH 2 =CH 2 , formed by the addition of H to one C and OH to the other C, and so ...
