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.
Possible causes of hypothermia include: Cold exposure. When the balance between the body's heat production and heat loss tips toward heat loss for a prolonged period, hypothermia can occur. Accidental hypothermia usually happens after cold temperature exposure without enough warm, dry clothing for protection.
