Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1QsZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LifeThreateningCondition</a> is an ailment which, if left untreated, may cause the death of the organism afflicted by it. Specializations include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1e1JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Poisoning</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1GeJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Rabies</a>.

Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString immune deficiency disorder ImmuneDeficiencyDisorderType This is the collection of diseases (disease types) the primary manifestation of which is chronic inadequate immune response. The best-known instance is AIDS. Most immune deficiency diseases, however, are genetic. Examples of these include X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia, Selective IgA Deficiency, and Chronic Granulomatous Disease. AIDS AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV infection The precursor to AIDS.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is a collection C of spatial things (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a>), where each of the spatial things in C is spatially disjoint with the other spatial things in C. <p/> For example, the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjaoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dog</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a>, since dogs do not spatially overlap. Even pregnant dogs do not spatially overlap the pups they bear; rather, pregnant dogs contain their unborn pups. Other instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwVGrQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LatitudeLine</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvW4n1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CompactDisc_Audio</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwR7UWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetaryBody</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwVh-HpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectiousDiseaseType</a> is a type of infection that is also a type of disease. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVp6j5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TrenchFever</a> belongs in this collection, but <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQww_JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ViralInfection</a>, which is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1fRZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectionType</a> but is not a type of disease, does not belong.
