A trend has emerged, particularly in the early 2000s, in which numerous studies have revealed a link between fast food and an increase in heart disease.
The causes of SIRS are broadly classified as infectious or noninfectious. Causes of SIRS include: [citation needed] bacterial infections;

Noninfectious epididymitis that happens spontaneously might be caused by the reflux of urine through the ejaculatory ducts and vas deferens into the epididymis, producing inflammation that leads to swelling and ductal obstruction. [15] Men with history of vasectomy are also predisposed to chronic nonifectious epididymitis.
If these are ruled out, as well as other causes such as parasitic or fungal causes, then the cause of the meningitis is likely noninfectious in nature. [2] DIAM is among these noninfectious causes of aseptic meningitis. [citation needed] Once infectious causes ruled out, noninfectious causes should be investigated.
Infectious disease doctors explain if hand sanitizer kills norovirus, and effective ways to neutralize the stomach bug’s germs, including on surfaces.
This is a list of infectious diseases arranged by name, along with the infectious agents that cause them, the vaccines that can prevent or cure them when they exist and their current status. Some on the list are vaccine-preventable diseases .
This is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitals and long-term care facilities. While anyone can get clostridium difficile, risk factors include being 65 or older, having a ...
