| Are RAST or skin tests better for allergies? A doctor may use a number of tests to check whether someone is allergic to certain substances. These include skin tests and blood tests. Blood tests include RAST and ELISA tests. Learn more about the procedure and results of RAST tests, and how this allergy diagnosis test compares with skin tests. |
| Alzheimer's / Dementia |
| ALS: How 'toxic' proteins could protect neurons Researchers have found that large, fibrous aggregates thought to drive Lou Gehrig's disease might actually help to protect motor neurons. |
| Biology / Biochemistry |
| How do you gain weight quickly and safely? Doctors may recommend gaining weight to athletes and people who weigh too little. We describe 19 foods that can help a person to gain weight quickly and boost overall health. We also explore the evidence behind foods traditionally used for weight gain, such as red meat, eggs, and protein shakes. Learn more here. |

A person's serum cholesterol level can help to determine whether they should change their diet or lifestyle. Learn more here. |

| Dermatology |
| Does menopause cause rashes? Menopause causes a variety of familiar symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness — but can it cause a rash? In this article, we look at the link between menopause, estrogen, and skin health. We also discuss how women can help prevent skin changes, such as dryness and age spots, during menopause. |
| Obesity / Weight Loss / Fitness |
| What foods are high in protein? Eating a high protein diet can help people to lose fat and build muscle. By reducing intake of other types of food, such as carbohydrates and fats, it is possible to experience a range of health benefits that can include feeling fuller after eating. Many sources of protein provide additional nutrients as well. | How do you gain weight quickly and safely? Doctors may recommend gaining weight to athletes and people who weigh too little.
