The first thing a doctor will do is look for the cause. If it is something that can be corrected, such as removing earwax or treating an infection, the tinnitus usually will go away. Some people must find ways to live with tinnitus. Hearing aids are a common way to help, if the cause is related to hearing loss.
algor mortis. The cooling of a body after death. Algor mortis theoretically occurs at a rate of 1ÂºC/hour, assuming the decedent is an adult of normal weight and the ambient temperature is circa 20ÂºC. The rate of cooling is increased if the decedent is thin or malnourished, and if the environmental temperature is low and/or if it is windy.
Rigor Mortis and Other Postmortem Changes. Once the heart stops beating, blood collects in the most dependent parts of the body (livor mortis), the body stiffens (rigor mortis), and the body begins to cool (algor mortis). The blood begins to settle in the parts of the body that are the closest to the ground, usually the buttocks and back when a corpse is supine.
