In Attic Greek, the Etruscans were known as ÏÏÏÏÎ·Î½Î¿á½¶ (TyrrhÄnoi) , earlier Tyrsenoi, from which the Romans derived the names TyrrhÄni (Etruscans), TyrrhÄnia (Etruria), and Mare TyrrhÄnum (Tyrrhenian Sea), prompting some to associate them with the Teresh (Sea Peoples).he Etruscans, like the contemporary cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, had a significant military tradition.

What is Splenomegaly, Definition and Causes. An enlarged SPLEEN. Splenomegaly signals an underlying health condition and is not itself a disorder. The spleen is a structure of lymphatic tissue. One of its key roles is to remove old or damaged BLOOD cells from circulation. Many circumstances and health conditions that cause increased numbers of blood cells in the circulation can also cause splenomegaly.
The spleen is a vital organ that filters and eliminates infection causing agents from the blood. It also gets rid of old, abnormal blood cells and maintains a normal supply of healthy cells. In normal conditions, the spleen is roughly the size of our fist. When it gets inflamed and swollen, the size increases considerably; and the condition is called splenomegaly. The chief symptom is pain. At first, pain is felt in the upper abdomen; it gradually extends to the left shoulder.
