In this paper we introduce the notions of fuzzy transposition hypergroupsand fuzzy regular relations and investigate their basic properties.We also study fuzzy quotient hypergroups of a fuzzy transposition hypergroup.

Omental cysts occur rarely. Patients with omental cysts usually present with abdominal distention and a painless abdominal mass. In children it may present as an acute abdomen due to intestinal obstruction. The most common physical finding of an omental cyst is a freely movable abdominal mass, which should be considered in differential diagnosis of these cases. The diagnostic procedures include...

Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. We report a case of omental torsion in a 7-year-old girl, who presented with right iliac fossa pain. The patient underwent an open appendicectomy, during which a normal appendix was identified and a diagnosis of omental torsion was made. The affected segment of omentum was resected along with the appendix. The patient made an uncomplicate...

BACKGROUND The concept that androgens regulate multiple aspects of adipose tissue metabolism in women is based on studies of women with pathological androgen excess and in vitro studies generally using supraphysiological androgen concentrations. We investigated whether in women with normal-range serum testosterone, relationships exist between serum androgens and expression of proinflammatory (t...

The canine omental bursa is a virtual cavity enclosed by the greater and lesser omentum. While previous representations of this bursa were always purely schematic, a novel casting technique was developed to depict the three-dimensional organization of the omental bursa more consistently. A self-expanding polyurethane-based foam was injected into the omental bursa through the omental foramen in ...

Omental and mesenteric lipomas are very rare benign lesions of mature adipose tissue. They are well-defined, noninvasive, and encapsulated masses that can be discovered in asymptomatic patients or may cause variable nonspecific symptoms depending on their size and location. The omental and mesenteric lipoma has confusing features in ultrasound; however, computed tomography and magnetic resonanc...

Primary omental infarction (POI) has a low incidence worldwide, with most cases occurring in adults. This condition is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in childhood. Herein, we present a case of omental infarction in an obese 10-year-old boy who presented with acute abdominal pain in the right lower abdomen. The ultrasound (US) examination did not reveal t...

Omental infarction is an uncommon but important cause of acute abdominal pain, which frequently mimics other surgical presentations. The current series describes five cases of idiopathic omental torsion and infarction and provides a review of the literature. We discuss the diagnosis of primary omental infarction as well as the role of conservative and surgical management.
