Primitive data typeIn computer science, primitive data types are a set of basic data types from which all other data types are constructed. Specifically it often refers to the limited set of data representations in use by a particular processor, which all compiled programs must use. Most processors support a similar set of primitive data types, although the specific representations vary. More generally, "primitive data types" may refer to the standard data types built into a programming language (built-in types).

A patient who has such an illness may be referred to as a terminal patient, terminally ill or simply as being terminal.
DysmorphophobieLa dysmorphophobie, dysmorphobie ou trouble dysmorphique corporel (TDC) (BDD, Body dysmorphia disorder en anglais) est un trouble mental caractérisé par une idée obsessive qu'une partie de son corps, voire son corps au complet, est rempli de défauts. La personne utilise donc des moyens extrêmes afin de cacher ou d'améliorer ces défauts.
