Catalan term or phrase: orsona
CONTEXT: "Quan contactis amb ell, li pots demanar que modifiqui el diagrama de l'orsona que apareix al power point? Tal com està ara no es veu gens clar."

I don't have seen what diagram is referred to. It's an e-mail proposing improvement to a presentation for one medical conference.

English translation:urson / ursolic acid
Explanation:
I agree with Sheila and Ross that it's a typo. A search for similar results on the Diccionari Enciclopèdic de Medicina points to "ursona" as a possibility. It makes sense, since "orsona" and "ursona" would be pronounced in the same way by a Catalan native speaker. This is translated as "urson" or, more frequently, "ursolic acid".

Anyway, this is my bet.
