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. "
07/01/1990 - "This study summarizes the Ph.D.-research project concerning the development of a new high water vapor permeable wound dressing. "
11/04/2015 - "Meanwhile, these samples showed appropriate tensile strength and ability for maintaining a moist environment over a wound by controlled equilibrium water absorption and water vapor transmission rate. "
12/30/2014 - "The physical characteristics required for wound dressings, i.e., mechanical strength, adhesive strength, and water retention properties, as well as the water vapor transmission (WVT) properties of L-HPC HGSs and L-HPC G-HGSs were evaluated. "
06/01/2014 - "The swelling behavior, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), in vitro drug release and antimicrobial nature were analyzed to assess the applicability of these freeze-dried membranes as wound dressing materials. "

02/01/1999 - "Grain processing did not affect dry matter intake as a percentage of body weight or yields of milk, but steam-rolled corn improved efficiency of feed utilization during the first 45 d of the study. "
05/01/2010 - "Calves were blocked into 3 treatments by birth date and body weight and randomly assigned to receive fresh milk and a commercial pelleted starter containing extruded corn and soybeans (ECS), steam-flaked corn and soybeans (SFCS), or ground corn and soybeans (GCS). "
04/01/2003 - "In a cross-over design, six horses (ages 4-15 years, mean body weight+/-SD: 450+/-37 kg) were fed in random order: untreated oats, finely ground, steam-flaked and popped oats. "
04/01/1999 - "The volatile oil extracted by steam distillation of the wood of Cedrus deodara was examined for its oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity at the doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight. "
03/01/1997 - "Feeding corn silage rather than alfalfa and wet rather than dry roughage depressed (P < .01) ADG of cattle and reduced (P < .01) body weight-adjusted ME of cattle fed high-moisture corn grain but tended to increase both with steam-flaked corn or wheat."

09/01/2012 - "The membranes with balanced crosslink density and ionic groups' concentration possessed appropriate hydrophilicity and water vapor transmission rate; therefore, they could prevent the accumulation of exudates and decrease the surface inflammation in the wounded area."
07/01/2012 - "Cohesive and dispersive OVD denatured by drying and steam sterilization alone did not cause ocular inflammation."
05/07/1990 - "Inhalation of steam from camomile tea is a homely remedy for inflammation in the upper respiratory tract but meticulous care should be observed on account of the risk of burns."
01/01/2014 - "Obese individuals show a decrease in the concentration of Akkermansia muciniphila in the mucus that lines the intestinal wall, resulting in thinner mucus and a weakened intestinal lining and permitting metabolic endotoxins formed by other bacterial flora like LPS to enter the blood steam and cause the chronic inflammation associated with obesity. "
05/01/2015 - "Radiofrequency, laser or steam energy thermally denatures vein wall collagen, leading first to vein wall inflammation, then fibrosis and finally to occlusion. "
