“…One interesting feature of the volume phase transition is that it exhibits hysteresis, a feature that distinguishes it from the familiar liquid-gas phase transition [42,13]. These large volume changes have found use in various artificial devices including disposable diapers [37], drug delivery devices [35,10] and chemical actuators [14,22]. Gels abound in nature are thought to play an important role in certain physiological systems [53,47].…”

Abstract. We derive a model of the coupled mechanical and electrochemical effects of polyelectrolyte gels. We assume that the gel, which is immersed in a fluid domain, is an immiscible and incompressible mixture of a solid polymeric component and the fluid. As the gel swells and de-swells, the gel-fluid interface can move. Our model consists of a system of partial differential equations for mass and linear momentum balance of the polymer and fluid components of the gel, the NavierStokes equations in the surrounding fluid domain, and the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations for the ionic concentrations on the whole domain. These are supplemented by a novel and general class of boundary conditions expressing mass and linear momentum balance across the moving gel-fluid interface. Our boundary conditions include the permeability boundary conditions proposed in earlier studies. A salient feature of our model is that it satisfies a free energy dissipation identity, in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics. We also show, using boundary layer analysis, that the well-established Donnan condition for equilibrium arises naturally as a consequence of taking the electroneutral limit in our model.

“…The introduction of absorbent gels in diapers has been associated with a significant reduction in the severity and incidence of irritant diaper dermatitis 6. One of the most common irritants causing dermatitis is fecal proteases and lipases, which can weaken the physical integrity of the skin 10.…”

BackgroundDiapers play a critical role in infant health. In addition to providing sanitary methods of disposing of urine and feces, they can also directly impact skin health. Prolonged exposure to wetness and fecal matter has been shown to be a key driver of diaper dermatitis. This study sought to evaluate how diaper construction can affect absorption of stool.MethodsMethods included laboratory testing of stool absorbency as well as an at‐home diaper evaluation study, which examined a diaper's ability to keep fecal matter from the skin. Breastfed infant stool was given special consideration, as its properties make it difficult to contain.ResultsLaboratory results demonstrated that a meshlike aperture diaper was better able to absorb fecal matter. The at‐home diaper evaluation study confirmed that a meshlike aperture diaper design resulted in fewer instances of stool being present on skin during diaper changes.ConclusionDiapers with a meshlike aperture topsheet may represent a better way to mitigate known causes of diaper dermatitis through their superior ability to absorb fecal matter.

“…Vaseline known being with moisturising as well as water impermeability properties protect the skin [5,10]. In one study, 0 -18 month old children with diaper dermatit were also treated with zinc oxide/vaseline containing diaper as decreased the ratio and severity of diaper dermatit [19,24,25]. In other study diaper containing vaseline was seen to reduce the severity and redness in the 0 -18 month old children with diaper dermatit [20].…”

Diaper dermatit is among the widely seen inflamatory skin diseases in neonatals and small 0 -18 month old children. Control of causative agents as well as providing good genital care may prevent or reduce the risk of the disease. The aim of this study is find out the effect of protective genital care on reducing the diaper dermatit development in 0 -18 months old inpatient 0 -18 month old children who are using antibiotic. The study was conducted as prospective halfexperimetal using control-experimental groups. Our samples comprise of 0 -18 month old children admitted at Dokuz Eylul University Practical and Research Hospital, pediatric clinic between January and May 2009, 41 0 -18 month old children as a control group were not under protective genital care, and 42 0 -18 month old children as an experimental group were under the protecion and using vaseline. The mothers of the experimental group 0 -18 month old children were given education. All 0 -18 month old children were followed-up 3 -7 days and the collected data were evaluated in computer using Pearson's chisquare, Fisher's exact chi-square and Yatest-corrected chi-square tests. The diaper dermatit development ratio was 34.1% in the control group and 7.1% in the experimental group (p < 0.05). The rash disease in most of the control group 0 -18 month old children developed in 2 -3 days earlier than those in experimental group which appeared after the fourth day of study. All the 0 -18 month old children with diaper dermatit in the experimental group were found to be with first grade diaper dermatit while those with diaper dermatit in the control group were found to be with second and third grade diaper dermatit. The Diaper dermatit development ratio between the experiment group who were given the protective genital care and vaseline was meaningfully low in comparison to the control group who were not given any care.And those who acquired diaper dermatit disease among experiment group 0 -18 month old children the disease appeared in late days and was rather mild. As the diaper dermatit was found to be more frequent in 0 -18 month old children on antibiotics, to prevent the occurence of the disease proper protective genital care, vaseline use whenever the diaper is changed and giving education to mothers on the subject concerned is advised.
