 We find the first non-octahedral balanced 2-neighborly 3-sphere and the balanced 2-neighborly triangulation of the lens space $L(3,1)$. Each construction has 16 vertices. We show that there exists a balanced 3-neighborly non-spherical 5-manifold with 18 vertices. We also show that the rank-selected subcomplexes of a balanced simplicial sphere do not necessarily have an ear decomposition.

The purpose of this study is to establish the topological properties of three-dimensional manifolds which admit Morse – Smale flows without fixed points (non-singular or NMS-flows) and give examples of such manifolds that are not lens spaces. Despite the fact that it is known that any such manifold is a union of circular handles, their topology can be investigated additionally and refined in the case of a small number of orbits. For example, in the case of a flow with two non-twisted (having a tubular neighborhood homeomorphic to a solid torus) orbits, the topology of such manifolds is established exactly: any ambient manifold of an NMS-flow with two orbits is a lens space. Previously, it was believed that all prime manifolds admitting NMS-flows with at most three non-twisted orbits have the same topology. Methods. In this paper, we consider suspensions over Morse – Smale diffeomorphisms with three periodic orbits. These suspensions, in turn, are NMS-flows with three periodic trajectories. Universal coverings of the ambient manifolds of these flows and lens spaces are considered. Results. In this paper, we present a countable set of pairwise distinct simple 3-manifolds admitting NMS-flows with exactly three non-twisted orbits. Conclusion. From the results of this paper it follows that there is a countable set of pairwise distinct three-dimensional manifolds other than lens spaces, which refutes the previously published result that any simple orientable manifold admitting an NMS-flow with at most three orbits is lens space.

Purpose: To analyze changes of functional parame¬ters and aberrations before fitting and after using rigid gas-permeable scleral lenses (RGPSCL) in patients with irregular cornea. Material and methods. 21 patients (29 eyes) with irregular astigmatism of various etiology were enrolled in this study. The patients could not achieve good visual aсuity in glasses, standard soft or rigid corneal contact lenses. Complex ophthalmologic examination was per¬formed: autorefractometry, visometry, biomicroscopy, computer corneal topography, aberrometry on “OPD-Scan II” (“Nidek”, Japan) before fitting scleral lenses and during the period of their wearing. Results and discussion. The results demonstrat¬ed significant visual acuity improvement after RGP¬SCL fitting in all observed patients. UCVA amounted to 0.1±0.18, BCVA in glasses amounted to 0.4±0.26, BCVA in RGPSCL amounted to 0.7±0.1. An increase of best-corrected visual acuity in RGPSCL was statistically significant in patients after keratoplasty, after intra-stromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation, af¬ter refractive laser surgery (RLS) and in cases of mixed astigmatism. We have found that the correction of ker¬atoconus with the use of RGPSCL resulted in a decrease of the root mean square value (RMS), measured in the 3 mm and 5 mm zones by 2.5 times and 4 times, re¬spectively. In patients wearing RGPSCL after kerato¬plasty, statistically significant decrease in RMS was observed in the 3 mm zone (by 3.85 times) and in the 5 mm zone (by 2.99 times). In patients wearing RGPSCL after implantation of intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS), RMS in the 3 mm zone decreased by 1.5 times. In patients wearing RGPSCL after refractive laser surgery (RLS) RMS was 2.5 times lower in the 3 mm zone and 2.8 times lower in the 5 mm zone. In case of mixed astigmatism correction with RGPSCL, RMS increased by 1.6 times in the 3 mm zone and practically did not change in the 5 mm zone. Conclusion. The results obtained demonstrated significant visual acuity improvement in all observed patients. The sub-lens-space filled with tear forms a unified “cornea-tear-scleral contact lens” optic system that corrects unevenness of cornea, decreases amount of high-order aberrations (HOA) and provides a clear stable vision.
