Biology & Chemistry – Bethel College

Posted: Published on July 31st, 2016

We desire to instill in our students the belief that we are uniquely called by God to be stewards of His creation and to glorify Him through all aspects of our work. The goals of our program are to teach students scientific principals and research techniques, learn how to think critically and analytically, become skilled at communicating, use knowledge and skills in a variety of settings, and understand how to apply a Christian worldview to science. Bethel provides an atmosphere for growth. Our skilled and experienced faculty challenge and engage students from their freshman through senior years. In addition, our facilities, which include a cadaver teaching lab, research lab, and two additional biology teaching labs, give students the spaces they need to practice what they learn. We recognize that Christians handle the relationship between Gods revelation in the scriptures and His revelation in the creation in different ways. Furthermore, we value this variety of Christian interpretations, believing that studying them helps us better understand the underlying issues and our own views. Therefore, students are likely to encounter more than one perspective regarding Christianity and our understanding of the sciences, though in ways that are always respectful of our supporting denominational … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2016

It can be hard to tell for sure if you have eczema. Youll want to see a dermatologist or other doctor to find out. At your appointment, your doctor will check your skin and talk with you about your symptoms, your health history in general, and any rashes or allergies that run in your family. Based on that information, she'll decide if its eczema or something else. Goodskincare is key. If your eczema is mild, that might be all you need, along with some changes in your daily habits. If you have severe eczema, you may need to takemedicine for it, too. The basics: Soap and moisturizer. Use a mild soap or soap substitute that won't dry your skin. Youll also want a good moisturizer in cream, lotion, or ointment form. Smooth it on right after a shower or bath, as well as one other time each day. If your eczema is severe, you may find that it helps to take baths with a small amount of bleach added to the water. That kills bacteria that live on the skin of people with eczema.

Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis – Mercola.com

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2016

Some people interchange Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) because there are certain similarities between these two ailments. They are two different types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)1 this is the umbrella term for these conditions (Other lesser-known types of IBD include collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis). Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis both occur in teenagers and young adults. They affect women and men equally, and their symptoms are very similar. Whats more, their definitive causes have not yet been determined, although genes, environmental exposure, and poor immune response are both seen as contributing factors to both of these diseases. However, what sets these two apart is the area (or areas) they affect. While they both cause chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, ulcerative colitis is limited to the rectum and colon, or the large intestine. It begins in the rectum or sigmoid colon, and spreads up through the colon as the disease progresses. The inflammation and irritation mostly affect only the innermost layer of the intestine lining.2 On the other hand, Crohns disease can manifest generally on any area throughout the GI, from the mouth to the anus. It may also appear in patches. Some areas may be … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on July 25th, 2016

Indication for APRISO APRISO is a locally acting aminosalicylate indicated for the maintenance of remission of ulcerative colitis in patients 18 years and older. The use of APRISO for treating ulcerative colitis beyond 6 months has not been evaluated in controlled clinical trials. You should not take APRISO (mesalamine) extended-release capsules if you experience an allergic reaction to salicylates or aminosalicylates (sulfasalazine), or to any of the components of APRISO capsules. It is recommended that you have an evaluation of kidney function prior to treatment with APRISO therapy and periodically while on therapy. Talk to your doctor if you have any kidney or renal problems before taking APRISO. Mesalamine has been associated with an acute intolerance syndrome that may be difficult to distinguish from a flare of your ulcerative colitis. Symptoms include cramping, acute abdominal (stomach) pain and bloody diarrhea, sometimes fever, headache, and rash. Talk to your doctor if you experience a worsening of these problems after you start treatment. If you have liver disease, talk to your doctor before taking APRISO.
