Dr. Keith Baar: Leveling Up Tendon Healing
<p>In this Leveling Up episode of the PRS Global Open Deep Cuts Podcast, Dr. Baar talked about the effects of load on tendons and ligaments, how low load long duration loading can improve tendon strength and quality, the effects of stress shielding in tendons, whether resorbable sutures may be superior in tendon repair, why inadequately loaded tendons can develop tendinopathy, the effect of loss of load on tendons and ligaments, how to treat partial ligament tears with isometric exercises, and how increased protein intake is not very effective at increasing tissue recovery without loading and exercise. He also discussed how writing a mission statement helped him make decisions about his lab, why his peers are often his mentors, and why you should start hanging off your door jamb for a few minutes every day.</p> <p>Dr. Keith Baar is a professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, and the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology, at the University of California Davis Health School of Medicine, in Sacramento. He completed his undergraduate studies in Kinesiology at the University of Michigan, followed by a master's degree in Human Biodynamics at UC Berkeley, and finally a Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Illinois. Now at UC Davis Health, he runs the Functional Molecular Biology Lab. His research focuses on how resistance exercise leads to increased muscle mass and how endurance exercise increases fatigue resistance in muscles. His lab is also working on the development of engineered bone-ligament-bone constructs for the reconstruction of ligament injuries. </p> <p>Your host, Dr. Puru Nagarkar, is a board-certified plastic and hand surgeon, and Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.</p> <p>#PRSGlobalOpen #DeepCutsPodcast #PlasticSurgery #LevelingUp</p> <p>Papers referenced in the conversation:</p> <ul> <li>Effects of Different Loading Programs on Finger Strength in Rock Climbers.

Dr. Karol Gutowski: "Reinvention from Chief to Clinic" – A "Giants in Plastic Surgery" Interview
<p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;">In this "Giants in Plastic Surgery" episode of the PRS Global Open Deep Cuts Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Karol Gutowski, a board-certified plastic surgeon, educator, and nationally recognized leader in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. With a career spanning academic leadership, surgical innovation, and private practice, Dr. Gutowski reflects on the journey that brought him to the United States, why he chose medicine, and how his training and residency experiences shaped the opportunities that followed.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;">We discuss some of his happiest memories from residency and academia, the achievements he is proudest of, and the realities of serving in major leadership roles, including as Chief of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Gutowski also shares what prompted his transition from academia to private practice, how he navigated the uncertainty of leaving a fixed income to build his own business, and his perspective on what it takes to start and sustain a successful private clinic. Along the way, he offers thoughtful insights into handling patient dissatisfaction, avoiding short-lived trends, and distinguishing lasting innovation from fad in plastic surgery.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Beyond surgery, this conversation explores the personal side of a long career in medicine: what it is like working alongside his wife, balancing work and family life, and how he thinks about success across both professional and personal spheres. We also talk about whether different personalities are drawn to aesthetic versus reconstructive surgery, the future of the specialty, and what he sees as the next big thing in plastic surgery and medicine more broadly.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Read a classic PRS Global Open article by Dr. Gutowski and co-authors, "What Influences a Plastic Surgery Resident to Pursue an Academic Career?": <a href= "https://bit.ly/Academic_Influences_GOX">https://bit.ly/Academic_Influences_GOX</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Dr. Gutowski is an award-winning Chicago-based plastic surgeon known for advanced aesthetic treatments of the face, breast, body, and skin, as well as for his extensive contributions to education, research, and national professional leadership.
