    Summary: This easy-to-consult guide describes new minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of spinal instability that are accompanied by fewer complications and side-effects, reduce the risks of anesthesia, and lower costs. Clear accounts of a range of CT, X-ray, and MRI guided techniques are provided, including radiofrequency ablation in facet syndrome, cervical spine fusion, posterior and anterior lumbar spine fusion, and lumbosacral fusion. A brief but comprehensive introduction is included on biomechanics, relevant clinical syndromes, and diagnostic imaging. Like other books in the Springer series New Procedures in Spinal Interventional Neuroradiology, this practice-oriented volume will fill a significant gap in the literature and meet the need expressed by a large number of specialists (interventional neuroradiologists and radiologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopedists) for a topical and handy guide that specifically illustrates the presently available materials and methods.

    Patients categorized according to tumor type were compared to a control non-tumor population. Comparison of relative T cell values among the groups showed no significant differences; however, when absolute numbers of T cells/mm3 were compared, all cancer patients, whether from treated or untreated groups, had significantly depressed T cell values. No significant differences were observed in the relative or absolute numbers of B cells. Comparison of the total lymphocyte response to PHA showed no significant differences among the various cancer groups; however, response in all cancer groups whether from treated or untreated patients, was depressed by comparison to the control group. Patients categorized according to the type of treatment received showed significant depression in the white blood count, lymphocyte count, relative and absolute T cell counts and the absolute B cell count in the postsurgery, postadjunctive therapy group. The pretherapy group also showed significant depression in the absolute number of T cells/mm3 when compared to the controls. Response to PHA correlated with the absolute T cells values.
