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.
Pseudochyle is a type of fluid which has the same milky appearance as chyle but is actually composed of cellular debris, cholesterol micelles and lecithin globulin complexes. 1  Pseudochyle may represent an inflammatory or neoplastic process and, although rare in animals, it may be associated with Mycobacterium infection.
