Why is Arctic sea ice important? Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
Lipodystrophy is a medical condition characterized by abnormal or degenerative conditions of the body's adipose tissue. lipodystrophy can be a lump or small dent in the skin that forms when a person performs injections repeatedly in the same spot.
It is quite likely that these features represent different points in the natural history of the underlying process, with adipocyte necrosis (mesenteric lipodystrophy) evolving into a chronic inflammatory state (mesenteric panniculitis), and finally to fibrosis (sclerosing mesenteritis).
