Radiotherapy has been the primary therapy for managing metastatic spinal disease; however, surgery that decompresses the spinal cord circumferentially, followed by reconstruction and immediate stabilization, has also proven effective. We provide a quantitative comparison between the "new" surgery and radiotherapy, based on articles that report on ambulatory status before and after treatment, ag...

The central theme of this thesis was the non-invasive measurement of withinand between-subject variation in autonomic nervous system activity. Reliable and valid noninvasive measures are essential to ambulatory monitoring, which in turn is crucial for the ecologically valid study of the link between biology and behavior. In this final chapter, I first summarize the main results from the laborat...
