The David W. Fentress Family Letters, 1856-1969
No full textTranscript of a letter by an unidentified author to David Fentress regarding sharing federal newspapers and the banning of federal newspapers in some areas. The author passes on the news of the war including the destruction of the Federal merchantmen by the Confederate fleet. He passes along world news: Russia preparing to go to War with Europe and how that could negatively affect the Confederacy. There is also speculation on the future of the war

David Zimmer Christmas letter
No full textThis Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year.
David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society

Outcomes of Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement (David I Procedure) at a Single Center in Kazakhstan.
No full textValve-sparing aortic root replacement, commonly known as the David procedure, stands as a pioneering surgical technique aimed at addressing aortic root aneurysms while retaining the patient's native aortic valve. This procedure signifies a significant advancement in cardiac surgery, offering patients the potential for improved outcomes both in the short and long term.
Aims. The aim of the study was to analyze short- and long-term outcomes after valve sparing aortic root replacement operation using David I technique.
Methods. From January 2013 to November 2020 a total 124 David I procedures were performed. We analyzed survival and freedom from reoperation. Follow-up was performed 8 years postoperatively.
Results. Early mortality was 0.8% (n = 1). Mean age was 48.25 ± 17.42. The left ventricular ejection fraction (%) before discharge was significantly increased (p = 0.038) after surgery. The 1, 3, 6, 8 –year survival and freedom from reoperation rates were 99%, 99%, 98%, 87% and 99%, 98%, 95%, 91% retrospectively.
Conclusion. David procedure is a valuable option for treating aortic root aneurysms offering the potential for excellent long-term outcomes, especially when the native aortic valve can be preserved. The decision should be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the patient's individual factors and the expertise of the surgical team
Differential representation of drug-seeking within ventral pallidal subregions
No full textVentral pallidum (VP) neurons exhibit changes in firing rate (FR) immediately prior to and/or following cocaine-reinforced responses. We first aimed to determine whether the changes in FR surrounding cocaine-seeking responses were coincident with behaviors such as approaching the manipulandum, responding on the manipulandum, and retreating away from the manipulandum. Second, we aimed to determine whether changes in FR during cocaine-seeking behaviors differed between VP subregions. Prior to recordings, animals exhibited both task and skill learning, replicating previous results using this operant. 171 single-units in the ventromedial VP (VPvm) and 48 in the dorsolateral VP (VPdl) were recorded in welltrained animals during cocaine self-administration. Baseline FR and waveform characteristics did not differ between subregions. VPdl neurons exhibited a greater absolute change in FR over VPvm neurons during approaches as well as approaches divided into cued and uncued conditions. VPdl neurons exhibited a greater absolute change in FR over the VPvm during responses as well as responses divided into those cued/reinforced and uncued/unreinforced conditions. VPdl neurons were more likely to exhibit a similar change in FR during approach and response than VPvm neurons. VPvm neurons were heterogeneous, changing FRs during approach or response alone, or both. No differences were found between subregions during retreat behavior. VPdl neurons exhibited a greater absolute change in FR over the VPvm for retreats in which the pump was activated prior to or during a retreat, but not for retreats when the pump was not activated. Given that VPdl neurons exhibited a greater change in FR than VPvm neurons during approach and response, VPdl may be involved in the expression of drug-seeking behaviors through projections to "motoric" regions such as subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra. Furthermore, because VPdl neurons were more likely to continue their change of FR from approach through response while VPvm were more selective (e.g., approach alone, response alone), it is suggested that cocaine-seeking behaviors are differentially represented within VP subregions. The VPvm projects primarily to the mediodorsal thalamus and ventral tegmental area. Heterogeneous firing patterns within the VPvm may be involved in maintaining a representation of behavioral characteristics or sequences of self-administration behaviors.Ph.
