🌸 Hay fever season is in full swing — and for millions of adolescents, it's more than just a seasonal nuisance.

A new study from the PASTURE cohort (Pechlivanis et al., Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde, 2025) found that measuring Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) — a simple, non-invasive marker of skin barrier function — in 16-year-olds may help identify adolescents at higher risk for allergic sensitization and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (hay fever).

Key findings:
• Higher TEWL was significantly associated with perennial allergic sensitization (year-round, e.g. dust mites, pet dander)
• TEWL was also linked to allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC)
• Interestingly, no association was found with asthma or atopic dermatitis in this group

The authors suggest that a compromised skin barrier may play a role in the pathway from sensitization to ARC — and that routine TEWL measurement could become a valuable screening tool in pediatric and allergology practice.

The PASTURE project has been tracking children across five European countries since birth to understand the environmental and genetic factors behind atopic diseases. This latest analysis adds an important piece to that puzzle.

🔬Groundbreaking research published in Frontiers in Endocrinology highlights an often-overlooked aspect of pediatric diabetes care: the skin barrier.

A study from Poznan University of Medical Sciences evaluated epidermal barrier function in 125 children and adolescents (ages 6–18) with type 1 diabetes — the first of its kind in this age group. Key findings:

📌 Higher HbA1c levels were associated with increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), indicating greater barrier impairment
📌 More frequent hyperglycemia correlated with reduced epidermal hydration
📌 Body fat percentage showed a positive correlation with TEWL

The authors recommend that TEWL measurement and corneometry be included in routine check-ups for young patients with type 1 diabetes — as early, non-invasive indicators of neuropathy risk or diabetic foot development.

Measurements were carried out using our Tewameter® TM 300 and Corneometer® CM 825, connected to the Cutometer® MPA 580 — providing reliable, non-invasive assessment of skin barrier parameters in a clinical pediatric setting.
