Hypothermia occurs when the bodyâs temperature falls below 35 Â°C. Hypothermia can occur in any situation where the body is losing more heat to the environment than it is generating. Severe hypothermia is life-threatening without prompt medical attention.
A chylothorax (or chyle leak) is a type of pleural effusion. It results from lymph formed in the digestive system called chyle accumulating in the pleural cavity due to either disruption or obstruction of the thoracic duct.
Key difference: Chyle is a milky bodily fluid that forms in the small intestine. The chyle forms specifically during digestion of fatty foods. Chyme, on the other hand, is a mixture of partly digested food and stomach fluids. It is termed as a âsemifluid mass of partly digested food,â and is also known as chymus.
