The Final Report of the USA CAPO Registry summarizes eight years of
observation and analysis that reflects the experiences of 485
clinical centers and over 25,000 CAPO patients. As such, it offers
a wealth of information, available here for the first time to
interested parties around the world. Because the National
Institutes of Health was quick to see the potential of CAPO as a
promising therapy for patients with end stage renal disease, the
Registry project was begun soon after its introduction into
clinical practice in the USA. Accordingly, the Registry offered the
nephrology community in the United States a special opportunity to
study this emerging new therapy in some detail, an opportunity not
previously available for any other form of dialysis. As will be
seen in this report, the result of this early and intensive
research effort has been the development of a vast amount of
clinically important information regarding the utilization, safety,
and efficacy of this important dialytic therapy.
On February 2, 1864, a 900 man Union garrison near the small
eastern North Carolina town of Newport found itself under attack by
over 2,500 Confederates. Despite being outnumbered and facing
almost three to one odds, the Union forces fought three separate
engagements over an almost ten mile front in western Carteret
County. After a day of combat lasting over ten hours, Union troops
were compelled to retreat in the face of an overwhelming
Confederate onslaught. Ultimately three members of the 9th Vermont
infantry were awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions which
saved their comrades from certain capture. The Battle of Newport
Barracks was the culmination of a brilliant operation commanded by
Brigadier General James G. Martin and marked a rare Confederate
victory in a theater of the Civil War where fortunes rarely favored
Southern forces. Often viewed as a mere footnote to the larger
Confederate attempt to recapture New Bern, this is the story of the
men and the town caught in the middle of the largest and bloodiest
battle to take place in Carteret County during the Civil War.
