ÖZEL HABER | Sultan Özer Prof. Dr. Yüksel Ürün: “Kanser riskini sıfırlayamayız, ama olasılıkları lehimize değiştirebiliriz” 24saatgazetesi.com/prof-dr-y… #Kanser #ErkenTeşhis #Onkoloji #sağlık @ozer_sultan

Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who used a topical flurbiprofen patch alongside oral celecoxib reported faster pain relief and better short-term function than those who used celecoxib alone. "The findings support the combination regimen as a short-term 'bridging' strategy to reduce early activity limitation and potentially facilitate timely initiation of non-pharmacological rehabilitation in symptomatic KOA [knee OA]," the authors of the study wrote. mdsc.pe/4yyHHG7

Do you believe in fate? 💙 After his wife of 37 years passed away from dementia in 2025, Lance Schellpeper stopped believing in much of anything. He stopped taking care of himself, gained weight and stopped attending church. “I was mad at the world and mad at God. Losing my wife Linda was like losing all hope,” the Jacksonville Beach resident said. His doctor warned him his heart was in trouble, but Lance didn’t listen and remained content to fish at his favorite spot on the Jacksonville pier. It was there, reaching down to pet a stranger’s dog, that Lance collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest. This is where fate intervened. The dog's owner was Jennifer Card, PA-C, a cardiac physician’s assistant with Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgical Associates, PA, who treats patients at Baptist Health hospitals. Jennifer immediately recognized what was happening, called 911 and went to work. “I was pushing hard and fast on his chest for like five minutes. It was go-time,” she said. “I didn’t even stop to check his pulse.” When paramedics arrived on the scene, they shocked Schellpeper’s heart back into its normal rhythm using an automated external defibrillator (AED) and transported him to the Emergency Room at Baptist Medical Center Beaches, where he was stabilized. Later that day, he underwent a heart catheterization at #BaptistJax that revealed four clogged arteries. The next day, John “Jack” Pirris, MD, FACS (also with Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgical Associates, PA), performed a successful quadruple bypass. Fate and modern medicine had intervened to save Lance’s life. 🩺 “Jenny being right there when I fell and knowing exactly what to do when my heart stopped is what saved me,” he said. “She must have used a sledgehammer on my chest because it was still sore when she came to visit me in the hospital.” Since his cardiac arrest, Lance has made major life changes and lost 40 lbs. He’s also gained a new friend and a healthier outlook on life. 💙 “Jenny is the reason I’m still here and I want her to get all the credit she deserves,” he said. “My whole problem was my lifestyle, but that’s all going to change. It’s what my wife would have wanted.” Read more about Lance’s incredible story here: go.baptistjax.com/4rGszns 💙
