Eyelid microcystic adnexal carcinoma
Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is an uncommon cutaneous tumor with multiple synonyms. On cursory microscopic examination, the tumor mimics syringoma and other benign skin adnexal tumors. However, the asymmetric, infiltrative growth pattern clearly sets the lesion apart as carcinoma. The tumor is locally aggressive, with recurrences common, but regional metastases are rare. Histogenesis is controversial. Optimal treatment consists of complete surgical excision with clear surgical margins
Orbital angiolipoma
Successful resection of an orbital angiolipoma in a 3-year-old child was performed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of angiolipoma in this site
Cold heteromolecular dipolar collisions
We present the first experimental observation of cold collisions between two
different species of neutral polar molecules, each prepared in a single
internal quantum state. Combining for the first time the techniques of Stark
deceleration, magnetic trapping, and cryogenic buffer gas cooling allows the
enhancement of molecular interaction time by 10. This has enabled an
absolute measurement of the total trap loss cross sections between OH and
ND at a mean collision energy of 3.6 cm (5 K). Due to the dipolar
interaction, the total cross section increases upon application of an external
polarizing electric field. Cross sections computed from \emph{ab initio}
potential energy surfaces are in excellent agreement with the measured value at
zero external electric field. The theory presented here represents the first
such analysis of collisions between a radical and a closed-shell
polyatomic molecule.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
