Oral History Interview with Dietrich Braun, January 1, 2021
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Dietrich Braun. Braun was born in Germany in 1932 and resided there during the war. He tells of housing and shortages during the war years. At age six, Braun was recruited into the Hitler Youth. At the conclusion of the war, his father, a German Rocket scientist, was selected to be a part of Operation Paperclip, a secret United States intelligence program that brought him to the United States. In November of 1946, Braun and his remaining family were smuggled into the US, aboard USNS Henry Gibbins (T-AP-183), to join his father at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base through 1951

Initial steroid-free immunosuppression after liver transplantation in recipients with hepatitis c virus related cirrhosis
No full textAIM: Steroids can increase hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. After liver transplantation (LTx), steroids are commonly used for immunosuppression and acute rejection is usually treated by high steroid dosages. Steroids can worsen the outcome of recurrent HCV infection. Therefore, we evaluated the outcome of HCV infected liver recipients receiving initial steroid-free immunosuppression. METHODS: Thirty patients undergoing LTx received initial steroid-free immunosuppression. Indication for LTx included 7 patients with HCV related cirrhosis. Initial immunosuppression consisted of tacrolimus 2x0.05 mg/kg.d po and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 2x15 mg/kg.d po. The tacrolimus dosage was adjusted to trough levels in the target range of 10-15 mu g/L during the first 3 mo and 5-10 mu g/L thereafter. Manifestations of acute rejection were verified histologically. RESULTS: Patient and graft survival of 30 patients receiving initial steroid-free immunosuppression was 86% and 83% at 1 and 2 years. Acute rejection occurred in 8/30 patients, including 1 HCV infected recipient. All HCV-infected patients had HCV genotype II (1b). HCV seropositivity occurred within the first 4 mo after LTx. The virus load was not remarkably increased during the first year after LTx. Histologically, grafts had no severe recurrent hepatitis. CONCLUSION: From our experience, initial steroid-free immunosuppression does not increase the risk of acute rejection in HCV infected liver recipients. Furthermore, none of the HCV infected patients developed serious chronic liver diseases. It suggests that it may be beneficial to avoid steroids in this particular group of patients after LTx.

Elicio Tapia & H. Braun). [male cbt003s08 turned out to be a different species, see below Typophyllum sp.] Notes. There are 8 males and 2 females in the collection of G.K. Morris (inspected 2004 / 2005) from the Amazon region of Ecuador in Napo Province. According to morphology they could belong to this species as well, but the male calling song is different. Probably they are the same as Typophyllum sp. nr. trapeziforme Morris et al. 1989, whose song is compared below to the one of T. morrisi. Another male from this area belongs to the collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor (UMMZ): Napo Province, about 8 km south-east of Tena and 2 km south of Ongota, 12 May 1963 leg. T.H. Hubbell & L.E. Peña. This site is at about 500 m and around 300 km north of the type locality of T. morrisi. Description. As in T. egregium the internal tympanal chamber walls are not expanded beyond the dorsal surface of the fore tibia, but are developed like the external ones. Also, the bases of the hind tibia are not expanded, placing this species like the preceding one into the first group according to Vignon (1925 a). Tegmen shapes (Fig. 5 C) do not correspond sufficiently well to any described males or females. And in males there is a unique modification of the stridulatory area at the base of the left tegmen: the proximal end of the fairly bulky stridulatory vein is dorsally developed as a knob, and directly behind it is a second knob of about the same diameter and as isolated structure being a little bit more conspicuous. The speculum of the right tegmen seems to be fairly stiff and is translucent but not transparent (Fig. 7 B). In females the tegmina are mostly emarginated in a characteristic fashion at the distal anal margin (Figs. 6 A, 7 D), and only rarely the margin is uniform (Fig. 7 E). One distinctive trait is shared by both sexes: the hind tibia sports a little below the middle, on the dorsal internal edge, a rounded, often downward-directed and drop-shaped process, of about the same diameter as the tibia (Fig. 5 B). The prosternum has no spines; mesosterum and metasternum are laterally pointed, but not terminating as distinct spines. Coloration. Little variation; various shades of brown; most individuals are dark brown (Fig. 7). Measurementes. Tegmen length in males 13–16 mm and in females 25–28 mm, hind femora in males 12–13.5 mm and in females 18–20 mm, antennae in females at least 50 mm. Acoustic behaviour. The two males that were recorded produced calls consisting of 3–6 (mostly 4 or 5) pulses (Fig. 19 C). One individual pulse lasts about 30 ms and they are repeated every 120–130 ms. A five-pulse call lasts 500 ms at 23 °C. Mostly two or three calls were produced together, separated by intervals of 400–500 ms. The pulses consist of a sustained and almost pure sine wave. The spectrogram shows a very narrow peak at 20.5 kHz and a faint harmonic at 41 kHz. The males seem to call only sporadically and the unique and easily recognizable song was never heard in the natural habitat while listening with a bat detector at night. The two knobs on the dorsal portion of the left tegmen of males might serve to dampen vibration of this tegmen, which otherwise could cancel out by negative interference the sound radiated by the speculum of the right tegmen, in case both tegmina vibrate out of phase. For the above-mentioned Typophyllum sp. nr. trapeziforme (Morris et al. 1989) are described trills of 47–132 pulses with a total duration of 2.5 – 7.0 s. The principal carrier frequency is 23.2 kHz. The high duty cycle might be due to captivity (see above T. egregium; extremely elevated calling activity compared to duty cycles of freshly caught males, and males in natural habitat, also occur in other Ecuadorian katydids—pers. obs.). However, the carrier frequency is slightly higher than described for T. morrisi. So it is currently uncertain whether the lowland population from the Ecuadorian Amazon is truly conspecific. Mating behaviour. In a cage with three females and one male, was once at night observed the male riding on a female, but this female was found moribund the next day and no copulation occurred. Distribution. Eastern foothills of eastern Andean cordillera at 850–1450 m in south Ecuador, probably extending down into Amazon region of Ecuador and northern Peru.Published as part of Braun, Holger, 2015, Little walking leaves from southeast Ecuador: biology and taxonomy of Typophyllum species (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Pterochrozinae), pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 4012 (1) on pages 6-11, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4012.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28935

H. Braun, deposited in the Museo de La Plata; same site and collector and in collection of author: female paratype cbt005s01, 2110 m, 13 September 1998; two female nymphs: cbt002s12, 2150 m, 13 December 1997; cbt002s16, above 2100 m, May 1999 [erroneously assigned to three different species codes: cbt002, -004, -005].</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> As in the two preceding species the internal tympanal chamber walls are not extending beyond the dorsal surface of the fore tibia, and the hind tibiae are developed normally, so this species also belongs to Vignon’s first group. As in the other species the tegmina shapes of male and female are very different (Figs. 8, 10). The speculum of the right tegmen in males is fairly small and transparent. This species has unique black hooklike spines on the meso- and especially the metasterum, described for no other <i>Typophyllum</i> species (Fig. 8 C,D). The prosternum has very small, short and obtuse processes. On the margins of the mesosternum sit delicate, almost straight and obtuse spines that diverge laterally about 45 degrees. The metasternum is equipped with curved and strongly laterally diverging spines that are longer and reach 1 mm in the male. Upon this character was established the conspecificity of the single male, the very dissimilar female, as well as the two nymphs.</p> <p> <b>Coloration.</b> The only known male is light brown with greyish and yellowish hues (Figs. 10 A,D and 11B). Its abdominal tergites have black lateral spots and the sternum is blackened. The only female is light green with dark brown legs and reddish brown ovipositor (Figs. 10 B,C and 11A).</p> <p> <b>Measurements.</b> Tegmen length in male 15 mm and in female 23 mm, hind femora in males 14 mm and in females 18 mm.</p> <p> <b>Acoustic behaviour.</b> The single recorded male produced series of pulse pairs (Fig. 19 B). At 18ºC the pulse length is 20–30 ms (without the soft hemisyllables corresponding to the opening strokes), and the interval about 50 ms. On a field recording of an untraceable male at 13ºC pulse length is 40 ms and interval 70 ms. These series can consist of 10–15 such pulse pairs, separated by 2–5 seconds respectively. The pulses are broken up into not completely fused impulses, and the spectrogram shows a fairly narrow peak between 20 and 22 kHz.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Only known from the type locality: northern slope of Cordillera del Consuelo, 2100–2200 m. All four individuals as well as the only acoustic record are from a small area at the origin of a small creek. The male was sitting on a terrestrial bromeliad.</p>Published as part of <i>Braun, Holger, 2015, Little walking leaves from southeast Ecuador: biology and taxonomy of Typophyllum species (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Pterochrozinae), pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 4012 (1)</i> on pages 11-12, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4012.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/289354">http://zenodo.org/record/289354</a>
