Slowing heavy, ground-state molecules using an alternating gradient decelerator.

We have decelerated a supersonic beam of 174YbF molecules using a switched sequence of electrostatic field gradients. These molecules are 7 times heavier than any previously decelerated. An alternating gradient structure allows us to decelerate and focus the molecules in their ground state. We show that the decelerator exhibits the axial and transverse stability required to bring the molecules to rest. Our work significantly extends the range of molecules amenable to this powerful method of cooling and trapping.

[Cosmetic results of posttraumatic eyeball subatrophy surgical treatment using "alloplant" biomaterials with subsequent use of prostheses].

A complex of surgical operations making use of Alloplant biomaterials, performed in 47 patients with initial posttraumatic subatrophy and 79 patients with well-developed and far advanced stages of this condition, helped preserve the eye as anatomical organ in 97.5% patients, with enlargement of the eyeball in two-thirds of patients and stabilization in one-third. Optic reconstructive operations were later performed and visual acuity improved in patients with the initial stage of subatrophy. Use of allotransplant for eyeball bandage in order to create a carcass for the sclera helped conceal the cicatricial deformation of the sclera and repair the shape and volume of the eyeball in patients with initial subatrophy, due to which a good cosmetic result was attained. In well-developed and far advanced subatrophy use of biomaterial for bandage created optimal conditions for thin-wall cosmetic prostheses, ruled out the irritating effect of the prosthesis in cases when corneal sensitivity was retained and/or there were coarse corneaoscleral cicatrices, and thus extended the indications for cosmetic prostheses of subatrophic eyes.
