Diffuse omental infiltration refers to the widespread involvement of the omentum, a layer of peritoneum that drapes over the abdominal organs, by abnormal tissue or disease processes, often associated with malignancies. This condition can occur in various cancers, particularly ovarian and gastric cancers, and is characterized by thickening and nodularity of the omentum. It can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, distension, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and may require biopsy to confirm the underlying cause.
Diffuse increased echogenicity refers to a generalized increase in the brightness of ultrasound images, indicating a higher than normal reflection of ultrasound waves. This finding often suggests the presence of conditions such as fatty infiltration, fibrosis, or inflammation within tissues or organs, particularly in the liver or kidneys. It can be indicative of underlying pathologies and typically requires further evaluation to determine the specific cause.
Omental nodules are small, firm, discrete masses or collections of fat located in the omentum, a fold of peritoneum that covers and supports the abdominal organs. These nodules can sometimes be found incidentally during imaging studies or surgery for other conditions and may be benign or associated with underlying diseases such as cancer.
Omental tissue refers to the fold of peritoneum that extends from the stomach and covers the intestines, providing support and containing blood vessels and lymphatics. A minor microscopic focus of serous carcinoma in omental tissue indicates the presence of small, localized clusters of cancer cells that originate from serous carcinoma, a type of epithelial ovarian cancer. This finding may suggest metastatic spread or secondary involvement of the omentum and can have implications for staging and treatment decisions in cancer management.

The infiltration rate affects the amount of water that can penetrate the soil, impacting groundwater recharge and soil moisture levels. Higher infiltration rates can reduce surface runoff and erosion, while lower rates can lead to waterlogging and increased runoff. Managing infiltration rates is important for sustainable water resource management and soil health.

Omental torsion is very rare and is almost never diagnosed preoperatively. The condition is usually found once exploratory surgery has begun and other potential abdominal abnormalities have been ruled out. Omental torsion is rarely fatal and recovery is usually swift, depending upon how evasive the incisions are. Most cases of omental torsion occur in adults and affects both men and women equally.

An omental patch is a surgical treatment of gastro-duodenal ulcer perforation whereby your omentum (a fat layer in your abdomen) is pulled through the perforation and fixed to the bowel to seal the "hole" created by the perforated ulcer
Infiltration capacity or amount of infiltration depends on : - Soil type - Surface of entry - Fluid characteristics.
Infiltration occurs by an aquifer filtering a liquid
the process of water into ground is called infiltration.
Tissue infiltration is insertion of fluid into tissue. For example injecting local anesthesia for a laceration repair is tissue infiltration.
