Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a chronic functional disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by recurrent attacks of intense nausea, vomiting, and sometimes abdominal and headaches or migraines.
Infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a disease transmitted mainly through sexual intercourse. HIV infection is characterized by damage to many systems and organs, increasing suppression of cellular immunity, which determines the striking uniqueness of its evolution, clinical manifestations and laboratory tests.
Depending on the origin, there are 3 types of erythromelalgia: type 1, associated with thrombocythemia, type 2 - primary, or idiopathic, which exists from birth, and type 3 - secondary, arising as a result of inflammatory and degenerative changes in blood vessels.
Dermatomyositis (synonym: polymyositis, Wagner's disease) is a connective tissue disease that primarily affects the skin and skeletal muscles. People of all ages are affected.
Cushing's syndrome occurs when the level of glucocorticoids in the blood increases. Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is caused by excessive production of cortisol by the adrenal cortex. Excessive production of ACTH is observed in the following conditions: dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary system; micro- and macroadenomas of the pituitary gland secreting ACTH
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (synonyms: Old World leishmaniasis, Borovsky's disease) is an endemic transmission disease, occurring mainly in countries with hot and warm climates, and manifested mainly by skin lesions.
Cutaneous horn occurs as a result of epidermal proliferation, especially against the background of senile keratosis, common wart and keratoacanthoma. Among the provoking factors are microtrauma, insolation, viral infections, etc.
Cutaneous chondroma is localized mainly on the fingers and toes, less often in other parts of the limbs, but, as a rule, near the joints.
Erysipelas is an acute inflammation of the skin. It occurs at any age, but older people are more often affected. The causative agent of the disease is Staphylococcus aureus, group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenus). The gateway to infection is any damage to the skin and mucous membranes.

Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is a chronic infectious disease caused by mycobacterium leprae. Men are more often affected. Blacks are more prone to leprosy, but the disease is milder in them.
Currently, about 100 types of polyneuropathies are considered in medical practice. Idiopathic inflammatory polyneuropathies are rare forms of polyneuropathies, so it is very important to know these forms, be able to diagnose them correctly and, most importantly, quickly and adequately treat them, since these diseases in most cases have a progressive course, invariably leading to disability, and in some cases to death.
Among the possible toxic effects of food origin, experts note poisoning from cucumbers - fresh, lightly salted, salted, canned.
