01/01/2015 - "The introduction of CMC improved the water absorption capacity, retention ability, and water vapor transmission rate of the sponge, which are all important properties of wound dressings. "
01/01/2023 - "Our results show that MgO-incorporated membranes exhibit good flexibility and improved water vapor transmission rates (WVTRs) and sustained Mg2+ release in a simulated model of wounds. "
02/09/2021 - "The water-holding capability and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of BNC composites were significantly improved, particularly in the case of BNC/LF/COL, with a WVTR of 2600 g m-2 d-1, indicating that the composite maintains a moderately moist environment over the wound bed, which would enhance epithelial cell migration during the healing process. "
08/01/2022 - "Constructed porous membrane is used as wound dressing, exhibiting a special nanoplates-constructed surface topography as well as a porous structure with plentiful oriented, aligned and opened pore channels, improved hydrophilicity, water vapor permeability, anti-bacterial and cell adherence, in support of wound healing and skin structural/functional repairing. "
01/01/2022 - "Furthermore, their improved hydrophilicity and mid-range water vapor transmission rate allow them to be a suitable wound dressing material. "

10/01/2020 - "As bivalve beds often become exposed during low-water conditions, this study examined the efficacy of steam-spray (≥100 °C, 350 kPa) and open-flame burn treatments (~1000 °C) to kill exposed individuals. "
01/01/2018 - "To avoid emissions of unburnt methane and the associated severe greenhouse effect of lean-burn engines, the stability of methane oxidation catalysts against steam-induced sintering at low temperatures (<500 °C) needs to be improved. "
12/01/2016 - "Our study aimed to ascertain patterns of injury and treatment outcomes from steam burns resulting from these devices. "

06/04/2013 - "Three trials in which patient data could be pooled found benefits of steam for symptom relief for the common cold (odds ratio (OR) 0.31; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16 to 0.60). "
05/11/2011 - "Three trials in which patient data could be pooled found benefits of steam for symptom relief for the common cold (odds ratio (OR) 0.31; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16 to 0.60). "
08/22/1990 - "A double-blind, randomized study tested the efficacy of steam (technically, heated, humidified air) inhalation in the treatment of common cold symptoms. "
04/13/1994 - "To test the efficacy of steam inhalation in treating common cold symptoms. "
06/04/2013 - "Steam inhalation has not shown any consistent benefits in the treatment of the common cold, hence is not recommended in the routine treatment of common cold symptoms until more double-blind, randomised trials with a standardised treatment modality are conducted."

01/01/2023 - "Introduction: Water vapor intraprostatic injection (Rezum procedure) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most promising minimally invasive surgical treatments. "
