Iodoform, a halogenated organic compound, has been a cornerstone in surgical practice due to its potent antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. This comprehensive review examines the historical evolution, mechanism of action, clinical applications, and safety profile of iodoform across various surgical disciplines. Historically significant formulations like Whitehead's varnish and bismuth iodoform paraffin paste (BIPP) demonstrated remarkable efficacy in wound healing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The gut microbiota in cattle is essential for protein, energy, and vitamin production and hence, microbiota perturbations can affect cattle performance. This study evaluated the effect of intramammary (IMM) ceftiofur treatment and lactation stage on the functional gut microbiome and metabolome. Forty dairy cows were enrolled at dry-off.

Background: Intramammary (IMM) ceftiofur treatment is commonly used in dairy farms to prevent mastitis, though its impact on the cattle gut microbiome and selection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has not been elucidated. Herein, we enrolled 40 dairy (Holstein) cows at the end of the lactation phase for dry-cow therapy: 20 were treated with IMM ceftiofur (Spectramast®DC) and a non-antibiotic internal teat sealant (bismuth subnitrate) and 20 (controls) received only bismuth subnitrate. Fecal grab samples were collected before and after treatment (weeks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9) for bacterial quantification and metagenomic next-generation sequencing.

Background: Quantitative analysis and objective evaluation of communication play an important role in medical communication education. In the process of developing an online methodology for medication counseling practice, we felt the necessity of conducting a quantitative evaluation to enhance its effectiveness.
Objectives: This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the communication in each scenario to comprehensively identify the differences between face-to-face and online communication in medication counseling practicum.

The intramammary infusion at the end of lactation of a bismuth subnitrate internal teat sealant (ITS), with no antibiotic component has been shown to be an effective means of reducing new intramammary infections over the dry period. There has, however, been very few comparative studies between different brands of ITS under grazed pasture conditions. The objectives of this study were, therefore, to determine if a new bismuth subnitrate internal teal sealant (ShutOut, MSD Animal Health) was noninferior to Teatseal (Zoetis) regarding end-points such as (a) detection of the ITS product after calving, (b) clinical mastitis during the dry period and early lactation, and (c) subclinical mastitis at 30 to 60 d in milk.
