Journal of the Institution of Engineers of Ireland May 2002 Creative Engineering Galway Engineer Hits the Heights No Time to Waste Clearing the Roads ... STEPS News Contact us: journal@iei.ie Home Journal May 2002 From Bench To Bedside Oxygen and the chemical nutrients required by the human body are carried in the blood, which is pumped tirelessly around its circuit by the heart muscle. This mechanical pumping action, a rhythmic contraction of muscle mass, is delicately and precisely regulated by and dependent on waves of electrical activity emanating from the sinoatrial node and propagating through a conduction network to all cells of the heart-muscle. The specialised cells, which initiate and conduct the cardiac impulse form a network consisting of three major parts. These are the sinoatrial node (the dominant natural pacemaker under normal conditions), the atrioventricular node and Bundle of His and the Bundle Branches and terminal Purkinje fibres. In some disease conditions this conduction system is perturbed; the consequent loss of contraction rhythmicity can have fatal results. Fluctuations in the electrical potential of cardiac cells are millivolts in amplitude and milliseconds in duration and the faithful recording of these minute signals was an almost impossible task up to a century ago. The construction of an instrument capable of measuring these potential variations was a problem that Nobel prize-winning Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven solved with his string galvanometer in 1903.

Free Web site hosting - Freeservers.com Premios Nobel de Fisiología y Medicina Premio Nobel: premios concedidos cada año a personas, entidades u organismos por sus aportaciones extraordinarias realizadas durante el año anterior en los campos de la Física, Química, Fisiología y Medicina, Literatura, Paz y Economía. Otorgados por primera vez el 10 de diciembre de 1901, los premios están financiados por los intereses devengados de un fondo en fideicomiso contemplado en el testamento del químico, inventor y filántropo sueco Alfred Bernhard Nobel. Además de una retribución en metálico, el ganador del Premio Nobel recibe también una medalla de oro y un diploma con su nombre y el campo en que ha logrado tal distinción. Los jueces pueden dividir cada premio entre dos o tres personas, aunque no está permitido repartirlo entre más de tres. Si se considerara que más de tres personas merecen el premio, se concedería de forma conjunta. El fondo está controlado por un comité de la Fundación Nobel, compuesto por seis miembros en cada mandato de dos años: cinco elegidos por los administradores de los organismos contemplados en el testamento, y el sexto nombrado por el Gobierno sueco. Los seis miembros serán ciudadanos suecos o noruegos. De acuerdo con la voluntad de Nobel, se han establecido institutos separados en Suecia y Noruega para favorecer los objetivos de la Fundación con el fin de potenciar cada uno de los cinco campos en los que se conceden los galardones.

Como se comprende la segunda (1901) y la tercera (1903) se refieren a lo mismo, y el hecho de que la conmemoración recaiga siempre en esta última invita a una reflexión sobre la diferencia que, para la publicación de un hecho igualmente importante, existe entre las revistas "locales" y las revistas internacionales, que hoy se denominan "de factor de impacto" por su enormemente mayor difusión. La fecha de WALLER (1887) en los tejidos vivos actuaba la electricidad El hecho de que el fenómeno de la "electricidad animal" producida en el corazón se pudiera registrar y medir fué un hito científico porque permitía "medir lo medible ó hacer medible lo que hasta entonces no lo era" como reza el paradigma que GALILEO impuso al conocimiento que pretendiera constituirse en ciencia. vagoneta de arrastre de MAREY

Links In oktober 2001 worden de winnaars van de Nobelprijzen weer bekend gemaakt. De bekendmaking in oktober en de uitreiking in december hebben dit jaar een bijzonder karakter, omdat de Nobelprijs honderd jaar bestaat. Meer dan 700 laureaten hebben voor hun wetenschappelijke of literaire werk of voor hun inspanningen ten behoeve van de wereldvrede de Nobelprijs ontvangen. Het testament van Alfred Nobel Toen Alfred Bernard Nobel in 1896 op 63-jarige leeftijd overleed, liet hij een vermogen na; omgerekend naar de huidige koers 500 miljoen gulden. In zijn testament, vier handbeschreven velletjes papier, bepaalde Nobel dat dit geld ten goede moest komen van een stichting. Deze kreeg de opdracht met de rente van dit bedrag een prijs in te stellen voor 'die personen die zich verdienstelijk hebben gemaakt voor de mensheid.' Nobel bepaalde vijf gebieden waarin personen zich konden onderscheiden: natuurkunde, scheikunde, geneeskunde, literatuur en de vrede. Het testament werd bestreden door de erfgenamen, maar een groep vrienden van Nobel spande zich in om zijn wens uit te voeren. Vijf jaar na de dood van Nobel vond in 1901 de eerste uitreiking van Nobelprijzen plaats. Sindsdien gebeurt dit jaarlijks, en wel op 10 december, de sterfdag van Alfred Nobel.

May 21, 1860, Semarang on the island of Java, in the former Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) d. September 28,1927, Leiden, Netherlands A Dutch physician and physiologist, Willem Einthoven, developed the first Electro Cardiograph (ECG) Machine. It was a simple string - galvanometer - capable of measuring small changes in electrical potential as the heart contracted and relaxed. Electrodes were attached to the limbs of the patient. As the string deflected, it obstructed a beam of light and the photographic paper recorded the shadow. As the heart contracts and relaxes repeatedly, Einthoven could record the wave pattern of these impulses. The ECG machine of today looks very different but works on the same principle. Einthoven was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1924 for this discovery. Willem Einthoven was born on May 21, 1860, in Semarang on the island of Java, in the former Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). His father was Jacob Einthoven, born and educated in Groningen, The Netherlands, an army medical offcer in the Indies, who later became parish doctor in Semarang. His mother was Louise M.M.C. de Vogel, daughter of the then Director of Finance in the Indies. Willem was the eldest son, and the third child in a family of three daughters and three sons. At the age of ten, Einthoven lost his father, and his mother decided to return with her six children to Holland, where the family settled in Utrecht.

History of the Prize The Nobel Prize Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist. He invented dynamite and became very rich. He gave more than 9 million dollars of his fortune to set up the Nobel prizes. Each year money from this fund goes to those who have most helped humanity. The Nobel Committee gives prizes for important work in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, peace, and economics. Prize winners receive a cash prize (currently $1 million), a gold medal (above) and a certificate (below).
