The Great Race in Auburn, New York
Robert S. Baraczek is a self-employed research and development consultant specializing in skin care products used to treat dermatological conditions. Aside from his professional endeavors, Robert Baraczek enjoys outdoor activities such as cycling. He has competed in Auburn, New York’s Great Race on several occasions.
Auburn’s Great Race sets itself apart from most triathlons by replacing the traditional swimming portion of the race with a paddling component. Teams gather from near and far to compete in either short or long course events that stretch and challenge athletes in a fun and casual atmosphere.
The beginnings of the Great Race reach back to 1978 when organizers wanted to provide a fun, community-based event that would promote physical fitness. In a nod to a local hero who died in Custer’s Last Stand, the organizers officially named the event the Captain Miles Keogh Paddle, Wheel, and Run. Over the last four decades, the event’s more manageable nickname, the Great Race, is more commonly used.
Other changes have been made to the race as well. Today, both short and long courses are available for contestants. Teams also have the option of paddling a two-person canoe or joining the kayak or paddleboard divisions.
Regardless of a participant’s age or ability, the Great Race is a fun and memorable event that brings the community together for a day celebrating fellowship and physical fitness.

Peptides as Skin Rejuvenating Treatments
Dermatologist Dr. Robert S. Baraczek develops a range of cosmetic products specially designed to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo. Since 2017, Dr. Robert S. Baraczek has owned and operated a skin-care focused consulting practice, which specializes in research involving skin-rejuvenating peptide treatments.
Healthy skin generates bioactive peptides. Peptides are chains of amino acids that are essential to building and maintaining important proteins in the skin. Scientists first discovered how to create synthetic peptides in the early 20th century. Since the 1980s, man-made peptides have been included in skin treatment products to boost production of proteins such as collagen, elastin, and fibronectin.
When applied topically, certain peptides can stimulate the production of these proteins. As a result, the skin can repair skin fibers damaged by excessive sun exposure. The production of collagen and elastin also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and results in smoother looking skin.
There is significant ongoing research into other applications for synthetic peptides. So far, some evidence has demonstrated its use for promoting wound healing and treating hyperpigmentation.

Important Tennis Etiquette for Recreational Play
Dr. Robert S. Baraczek is a research and development consultant in Arlington, Texas, focusing on development of new skin care products. In his free time, Dr. Robert S. Baraczek enjoys staying active by playing sports including tennis and racquetball.
When playing tennis in a recreational setting, it is important to demonstrate the proper respect for one’s opponent. For example, players are permitted to celebrate after winning a point. However, it is considered poor sportsmanship to cheer or applaud a point that ends due to an opponent’s mistake.
Other aspects of tennis etiquette are more relevant to the game itself. In the vast majority of cases, recreational tennis players are required to call their own lines. In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, players are advised to always make questionable calls in favor of their opponent rather than themselves. Similarly, if one player makes a questionable call, his or her opponent is advised to politely ask for confirmation before moving forward with the match, regardless of their thoughts on the call.
Finally, tennis etiquette can be important to player safety. If a tennis ball falls out of a player’s pocket or, potentially more dangerously, rolls over from a neighboring court, the first player to notice the ball must immediately call a let. After the loose ball is removed from the court the point should be replayed, regardless of which player held the advantage before the let was called.

Causes and Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
Based in Arlington, Texas, Robert S. Baraczek, PharmD, serves as a research and development consultant in the dermatology field. Dr. Robert S. Baraczek leverages his formal education to develop skin care products for conditions such as atopic dermatitis, which is characterized by red, itchy skin that presents itself primarily in children and is commonly referred to as eczema.
Atopic dermatitis appears to be the result of a genetic predisposition and environmental factors. If an individual’s parents have atopic dermatitis, asthma, or hay fever, then he or she is more likely to develop the condition. Similarly, places with high levels of pollution and cold climates increase an individual’s risk of developing atopic dermatitis.
To avoid atopic dermatitis, moisturize your skin with creams and lotions. Avoid triggers and other aspects of your lifestyle such as exposure to stressful situations that worsen the condition. A physician should set the specific course of treatment for each patient with atopic dermatitis after examining him or her and assessing his or her condition. Topical creams or ointments are usually suggested first, but if the condition worsens, phototherapy may be used, depending on the suitability for the patient. Patients with severe atopic dermatitis may also receive oral medications.
