[Cutaneous evaporimetry. VIII. Cutaneous water loss in Somalian newborn infants].

The cutaneous water loss (CWL) were investigated in 21 new-born infants by Evaporimeter Ep-1. The mean value of the CWL resulted 13,3 +/- 7,5 g/h. This result is much greater compared with the value of european new-born infants equal to 6,4 +/- 1,8 g/h.

[Cutaneous evaporimetry. VII. Cutaneous water loss in Basedow's disease].

The cutaneous water loss was investigated in 12 patients affected with Basedow's disease by Evaporimeter Ep-1. The mean value of the CWL resulted 49,8 +/- 18,2 g/h. This result is significantly higher compared with the value of normal somali people equal to 25,24 +/- 14,6 g/h.

[Measurement of cutaneous evaporation. 6. Cutaneous water loss in the people of Somalia].

The purpose of this research is the measurement of the cutaneous water loss in the 29 young and healthy Somalian people by the Evaporimeter. Ep I in order to compare it with the values of the european people. We did not find any significant difference.
