[Letter] 1792 December 23, New York [to] Captain Machin / Silas Talbot.
No full textThe letter bears the impression of a seal and the address flap states that it is sent c/o Michael Rawkins of Johnstown. See also Talbot\u27s biography and a guide to research collections of his papers (http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=T000019). See also Machin\u27s letter to General Clinton regarding his military pension.Talbot informs Machin that the election to send members to Congress will take place on the 22nd. Talbot encourages Machin to "step forth" and exert himself on Talbot\u27s behalf, and he will be "happy at all times to make returns to you for the favor." Talbot offers to reimburse Machin for his expenses attending the poll, and states his confidence that both he and Mr. Cooper will be elected. Active in the Early Republic, Talbot served in the Continental Army and Navy, promoted to Captain in 1779. He was captured and imprisoned by the British, and upon returning to America served in the New York State Assembly, then as a Representative from New York (1793-1795), and he was commissioned by President Adams as a Navy Captain once again in 1798. His second wife was the granddaughter of General Thomas Mifflin (see Mifflin\u27s letters in the collection)

Impact of COVID-19 on vascular patients worldwide: analysis of the COVIDSurg data
No full textBACKGROUND: The COVIDSurg collaborative was an international multicenter prospective analysis of perioperative data from 235 hospitals in 24 countries. It found that perioperative COVID-19 infection was associated with a mortality rate of 24%. At the same time, the COVER study demonstrated similarly high perioperative mortality rates in vascular surgical patients undergoing vascular interventions even without COVID-19, likely associated with the high burden of comorbidity associated with vascular patients. This is a vascular subgroup analysis of the COVIDSurg cohort. METHODS: All patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 in the 7 days prior to, or in the 30 days following a vascular procedure were included. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes were pulmonary complications (adult respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and respiratory failure). Logistic regression was undertaken for dichotomous outcomes. RESULTS: Overall, 602 patients were included in this subgroup analysis, of which 88.4% were emergencies. The most common operations performed were for vascular-related dialysis access procedures (20.1%, N.=121). The combined 30-day mortality rate was 27.2%. Composite secondary pulmonary outcomes occurred in half of the vascular patients (N.=275, 45.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Mortality following vascular surgery in COVID positive patients was significantly higher than levels reported pre-pandemic, and similar to that seen in other specialties in the COVIDSurg cohort. Initiatives and surgical pathways that ensure vascular patients are protected from exposure to COVID-19 in the peri-operative period are vital to protect against excess mortality.
