Usually, treatment of a lipoma is not necessary, unless the tumor becomes painful or restricts movement. They are usually removed for cosmetic reasons, if they grow very large, or for histopathology to check that they are not a more dangerous type of tumor such as a liposarcoma.
The world's largest earthquake with an instrumentally documented magnitude occurred on May 22, 1960 near Valdivia, in southern Chile. It was assigned a magnitude of 9.5 by the United States Geological Survey.
The initial Northridge quake shook with a staggering Richter magnitude of 6.9, and lasted for more than 20 seconds. The earthquake occurred along a blind thrust fault, close to the San Andreas fault. The outcome resulted in one of the most financially destructive natural disasters in American history. The Northridge quake also claimed 72 lives and inflicted 9,000 injuries, where 1,500 of the injuries were considered severe.
