A Visual Analogue Scale Exercise for Teaching Antimicrobial Selection in Veterinary Pharmacology: Tool Development and Initial Implementation

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary students often find it difficult to select antimicrobial drugs for patients, likely because it requires them to consider multiple factors and there are frequently several possible options with a lack of a defined “correct or incorrect” choice. Our goal was to develop a teaching tool to engage the students through the decision‐making

Urban ants as potential mechanical vectors of pathogenic and antibiotic‐resistant bacteria in a Brazilian hospital

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Nine ant taxa were identified in a Brazilian hospital, with Tapinoma melanocephalum and Dorymyrmex brunneus being the most abundant. Eighty‐five percent of collected ants yielded detectable bacterial growth, including clinically relevant genera such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Pluralibacter.

The effects of far‐UVC irradiation on the presence and concentration of ESKAPEE pathogens on hospital surfaces: Study protocol for a multi‐site, double‐blinded randomized controlled trial in La Paz, Bolivia

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The protocol of a multi‐site, double‐blinded, clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) with a binary outcome of the presence of viable presumptive ESKAPEE pathogens on surfaces in and around hospital sinks is to be implemented in two Bolivian hospitals.

Perioperative Prophylaxis in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation: A Baseline Stewardship Audit Using Routine Electronic Data

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Using routine electronic data from 164 pediatric transplants, we created reproducible stewardship measures of perioperative prophylaxis practice across transplant populations and protocol pathways. Starting prophylaxis was reliable, but continuation beyond intended stop targets—especially in abdominal transplantation—identified the clearest target for ...

Clinical management of a severe skull fracture in a loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract A 30.6 kg loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) presented with a 2–3‐week‐old deep head wound, left neck and right cubital lacerations, and carapace fractures. Haematology revealed a marked leukocytosis, with other values unremarkable. Initial wound‐cleaning, an antibiotic course, fluids and vitamin B supplementation were initiated. Computed
