Animated map of what Earth would look like if all the ice melted. We learned last year that many of the effects of climate change are irreversible. Sea levels have been rising at a greater rate year after year, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates they could rise by another meter or more by the end of this century. As National Geographic showed us in 2013, sea levels would rise by 216 feet if all the land ice on the planet were to melt. This would dramatically reshape the continents and drown many of the world's major cities. Produced by Alex Kuzoian
Lumpectomy (sometimes known as a tylectomy) is a surgical removal of a discrete portion or lump of breast, usually in the treatment of malignant tumor or breast cancer.
A colostomy is a surgical procedure in which an opening (stoma) is formed by drawing the healthy end of the large intestine or colon through an incision in the anterior abdominal wall and suturing it into place. End colostomy: A stoma is created from one end of the bowel. 2  The other portion of the bowel is either removed or sewn shut (Hartmann's procedure). 3  Double barrel colostomy: The bowel is severed and both ends are brought out onto the abdomen.
