Preferences of Physical Therapy Students Regarding Digital and Printed Textbooks.

Aims: Research has shown mixed results regarding students' preferences of digital over printed textbooks. However, none of the published studies have studied physical therapy students and few have surveyed students across more than one professional program. The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions and use of digital textbooks and printed textbooks by students in four different physical therapy programs.

Increases in insulin-like growth factor-1 level and peroxidative damage after gestational ethanol exposure in rats.

Ethanol exposure during pregnancy elicits profound detrimental developmental and behavioral effects such as reduced levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in the fetus. However, few reports have addressed its impact on postpartum dams. This study was designed to examine the influence of gestational ethanol exposure on postpartum maternal organ oxidative damage and IGF-1 level.
