Because costochondritis causes inflammation of the joints connecting the ribs, it is also associated with inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disorders. As such, the association between rheumatology and costochondritis is clear.
Hypothermia happens when your body temperature drops way below normal, causing the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems to slow down. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 Â°F (37 Â°C). Hypothermia happens if your temperature drops to 96 Â°F (35.5 Â°C) or below. Hypothermia often happens gradually, but it can happen within minutes, such as if someone falls through the ice into cold water. Then your body starts to lose heat faster than it can produce it.
Prior to the onset of hypothermia the body maintains a relatively stable temperature whereby heat production is balanced by heat loss. When the outside environment gets too cold or the body's heat production decreases, hypothermia occurs (hypo=less + thermia=temperature).
