thanks to the greeks for introducing male to male anal sex

Though not obligatory (though examined, as most things were) ... I am sure they would RIP knowing you have been made a happy man, with those other two blokes in you avatar ...

We all knew ancient Hellenes and their civilization but I wonder the discoveries and inventions of Hellenes of Greece in the last 200 years.

Nuchal translucency and other first-trimester sonographic markers of chromosomal abnormalities.

There is extensive evidence that effective screening for major chromosomal abnormalities can be provided in the first trimester of pregnancy. Prospective studies in a total of 200,868 pregnancies, including 871 fetuses with trisomy 21, have demonstrated that increased nuchal translucency can identify 76.8% of fetuses with trisomy 21, which represents a false-positive rate of 4.2%. When fetal nuchal translucency was combined with maternal serum free-beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A in prospective studies in a total of 44,613 pregnancies, including 215 fetuses with trisomy 21, the detection rate was 87.0% for a false-positive rate of 5.0%. Studies from specialist centers with 15,822 pregnancies, which included 397 fetuses with trisomy 21, have demonstrated that the absence of the nasal bone can identify 69.0% of trisomy 21 fetuses, which represents a false-positive rate of 1.4%. It has been estimated that first-trimester screening by a combination of sonography and maternal serum testing can identify 97% of trisomy 21 fetuses, which represents a false-positive rate of 5%, or that the detection rate can be 91%, which represents a false-positive rate of 0.5%. In addition to increased nuchal translucency, important sonographic markers for chromosomal abnormalities, include fetal growth restriction, tachycardia, abnormal flow in the ductus venosus, megacystis, exomphalos and single umbilical artery. Most pregnant women prefer screening in the first, rather than in the second, trimester. As with all aspects of good clinical practice, those care givers who perform first-trimester screening should be trained appropriately, and their results should be subjected to external quality assurance.

Pap test


From Wikipedia,

Cytological specimen (ThinPrep) from a patient who was later diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma in situ. There is at least one mitosis.The Papanicolaou test (also called Pap smear, Pap test, cervical smear, or smear test) is a screening test used in gynecology to detect premalignant and malignant (cancerous) processes in the ectocervix. Significant changes can be treated, thus preventing cervical cancer. The test was invented by and named after the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou, but was also independently invented by Romanian scientist Aurel Babeş.[1] An anal Pap smear is an adaptation of the procedure to screen and detect anal cancers.

In taking a Pap smear, a tool is used to gather cells from the outer opening of the cervix (Latin for "neck") of the uterus and the endocervix. The cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. The test aims to detect potentially pre-cancerous changes (called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia), which are usually caused by sexually transmitted human papillomaviruses (HPVs). The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. The test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium.

It is generally recommended that females who have had sex seek regular Pap smear testing. Guidelines on frequency vary, from annually to every five years. If results are abnormal, and depending on the nature of the abnormality, the test may need to be repeated in three to twelve months. If the abnormality requires closer scrutiny, the patient may be referred for detailed inspection of the cervix by colposcopy. The patient may also be referred for HPV DNA testing, which can serve as an adjunct to Pap testing.

The study of dietary factors and aspirin in the prevention of colorectal cancer

Professor Chris Paraskeva

Professor of Experimental Oncology, Director of CR-UK Colorectal Tumour Biology Group

Cancer of the Large Intestine (bowel cancer) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the industrialised world. It develops due to mutations in growth control genes such as proto-oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. About 17,000 people in the UK alone die of bowel cancer every year. It is thought that the high incidence of bowel cancer (and other cancers such as breast and prostate cancer) in the West is due to dietary factors and that between 50-70% of bowel cancers are preventable. Regular intake of aspirin also reduces cancer risk. Our research investigates how certain diets and aspirin reduce the risk of cancer and also how to develop new treatments for cancer. Of particular interest we are examining how to trigger cancer cells to commit cell suicide (through a process called apoptosis) without harming normal healthy cells.

Blame the backward Ottomans for that! In 1000 years Greeks will be back on top! Wait and see!
