Georgios Papanikolaou

Georgios Nikolaou Papanikolaou (or George Papanicolaou ; Γεώργιος Ν.
Παπανικολάου ; 13 May 1883 – 19 February 1962) was a Greek physician who was a pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, and inventor of the "Pap smear".
Pathology
1 linksStudy of the causes and effects of disease or injury.
Study of the causes and effects of disease or injury.
Further divisions in specialty exist on the basis of the involved sample types (comparing, for example, cytopathology, hematopathology, and histopathology), organs (as in renal pathology), and physiological systems (oral pathology), as well as on the basis of the focus of the examination (as with forensic pathology).
Histopathology
1 linksHistopathology (compound of three Greek words: ἱστός histos "tissue", πάθος pathos "suffering", and -λογία -logia "study of") refers to the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.
Histopathology (compound of three Greek words: ἱστός histos "tissue", πάθος pathos "suffering", and -λογία -logia "study of") refers to the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.
In contrast, cytopathology examines free cells or tissue micro-fragments (as "cell blocks").
Cervical cancer
1 linksCancer arising from the cervix.
Cancer arising from the cervix.
These should not be confused with the Bethesda system terms for Pap test (cytopathology) results.
Liquid-based cytology
0 linksLiquid-based cytology is a method of preparing samples for examination in cytopathology.
Cytocentrifuge
0 linksSpecialized centrifuge used to concentrate cells in fluid specimens onto a microscope slide so that they can be stained and examined.
Specialized centrifuge used to concentrate cells in fluid specimens onto a microscope slide so that they can be stained and examined.
Cytocentrifuges are used in various areas of the clinical laboratory, such as cytopathology, hematology and microbiology, as well as in biological research.
Cell biology
0 linksBranch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells.
Branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells.
The scientific branch that studies and diagnoses diseases on the cellular level is called cytopathology.
Vaginal cytology
0 linksMicroscopic examination of cells from the vaginal epithelium.
Microscopic examination of cells from the vaginal epithelium.
In a normal vaginal smear, lactational cells, navicular cells, endocervical cells, endometrial cells, trophoblastic cells, and leucocytes may be present.
Pleural cavity
0 linksPotential space between the pleurae of the pleural sac that surrounds each lung.
Potential space between the pleurae of the pleural sac that surrounds each lung.
When accumulation of pleural fluid is noted, cytopathologic evaluation of the fluid, as well as clinical microscopy, microbiology, chemical studies, tumor markers, pH determination and other more esoteric tests are required as diagnostic tools for determining the causes of this abnormal accumulation.
