Metabolites and enzymes involved in the kynurenine pathway (KP) are highly promising targets for cancer treatment, including gastrointestinal tract diseases. Thus, accurate quantification of these compounds in body fluids becomes increasingly important. The aim of this study was the development and validation of the UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS methods for targeted quantification of biologically important KP substrates (tryptophan and nicotinamide) and metabolites(kynurenines) in samples of serum and peritoneal fluid from gastric cancer patients. The serum samples were simply pretreated with trichloroacetic acid to precipitate proteins. The peritoneal fluid was purified by solid-phase extraction before analysis. Validation was carried out for both matrices independently. Analysis of the samples from gastric cancer patients showed different accumulations of tryptophan and its metabolites in different biofluids of the same patient. The protocols will be used for the evaluation of tryptophan and kynurenines in blood and peritoneal fluid to determine correlation with the clinicopathological status of gastric cancer or the disease’s prognosis.

The patient was presented to a veterinary hospital with acute progressive onset of non-ambulatory tetraparesis. An appropriate diagnosis of acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis was made and suitable supportive nursing care implemented. The patient was later diagnosed with pneumonia as a consequence of prolonged recumbency, requiring further nursing interventions. Treatment with intravenous human immunoglobulin therapy was subsequently initiated and the patient improved but was sadly later euthanased.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing anxiety in cancer patients. The research method is a literature review using five databases, namely PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, Clinicalkey, and Google Scholar, using keywords based on PICO. The results showed that the five articles analyzed all articles reported that music therapy effectively reduced anxiety in cancer patients. Music has psychological, physical, social, and spiritual effects that can increase support for cancer patient care, improve mood, and improve the quality of life of cancer patients to provide nursing interventions to reduce anxiety. In conclusion, music therapy is an effective therapy to reduce anxiety from children, adults to the elderly.   Keywords: Cancer, Anxiety, Music Therapy
