ULTIMA HORA: Mantendrán Premio Nobel de Medicina al fallecido Dr. Ralph Steinman


Mantendrán Premio Nobel de Medicina al fallecido Dr. Ralph. Steinman


La Fundación que entrega el galardón confirmó que el facultativo canadiense se mantiene como ganador, pese a que falleció el viernes pasado.

 03/10/2011 - 15:22


- El doctor que falleció el viernes y hoy ganó el Nobel de Medicina
- Tres inmunólogos ganan el Premio Nobel de Medicina 2011

La Fundación Nobel mantendrá la concesión del premio en Medicina al canadiense Ralph M. Steinman, fallecido el pasado viernes y distinguido hoy junto al estadounidense Bruce A. Beutler y el francés Jules A. Hoffmann por sus aportes al estudio del sistema inmunológico.

La noticia de la muerte de Steinman, que falleció a los 68 años víctima de un cáncer, no se hizo pública hasta unas horas después del anuncio del galardón, de ahí que la Fundación Nobel considere que se obró "de buena fe", a pesar de que vaya en contra de sus normas.

Ello, pues los estatutos de la fundación prohíben galardonar a una persona a título póstumo, a no ser que el galardonado muera en el período transcurrido entre la concesión y la entrega del premio.

SIN PRECEDENTES

El Comité Nobel de Medicina o Fisiología anunció hoy a los ganadores de este año, pero sólo tres horas después el presidente de la Universidad Rockefeller (EEUU), donde Steinman ejercía la docencia, comunicó su muerte.

La universidad estadounidense había recibido a su vez la noticia del fallecimiento hoy mismo de la familia del científico.

Los hechos son "únicos" y "sin precedente" en la centenaria historia de los Nobel, resaltó en un comunicado la fundación, que defendió la concesión del premio en virtud de una "interpretación del propósito" de la norma de no premiar a título póstumo.

"El propósito (...) es dejar claro que el premio Nobel no debe ser entregado deliberadamente de forma póstuma. Sin embargo, la decisión de distinguir con el premio Nobel a Ralph Steinman fue hecha de buena fe, basada en la suposición de que el laureado estaba vivo", consta en el comunicado.

Y eso era "cierto", no en el momento de tomar la decisión de los ganadores, pero sí "un día antes", recalcó la Fundación Nobel, después de mantener una reunión de urgencia para discutir el caso.

El incidente con Steinman se acerca más bien, según la interpretación de la fundación, al caso relativo en los estatutos a los laureados que mueren antes de poder recoger el premio.


El doctor que falleció el viernes y hoy ganó el Nobel de Medicina


La muerte de Ralph M. Steinman ha desatado una gran polémica pues el premio, de poco más de un millón de euros, no puede concederse a título póstumo, según los estatutos.

03/10/2011





Ralph M. Steinman
Tres inmunólogos ganan el Premio Nobel de Medicina 2011 Una gran polémica es la que se ha generado luego que esta mañana se anunciaran los ganadores del Premio Nobel de Medicina, puesto que Ralph M. Steinman, uno de los científicos distinguidos, murió el pasado viernes 30 de septiembre, según fuentes de la universidad donde trabajaba.

Steinman fue distinguido con el Nobel de Medicina junto al estadounidense Bruce A. Beutler y el francés Jules A. Hoffmann por sus aportes al estudio del sistema inmunológico humano. El galardón está dotado con diez millones de coronas suecas (1,4 millones de dólares, o 1,1 millones de euros).

Al científico de 68 años se le diagnosticó un cáncer de páncreas hace cuatro años, y su vida se extendió con una terapia basada en células dendríticas de su propio diseño, las que activan el sistema inmune.

Según los estatutos 1974, los premios Nobel no pueden concederse a título póstumo, a no ser que el galardonado muera en el período transcurrido entre la concesión y la entrega del mismo.

Sin embargo, el secretario del Comité Nobel para Medicina, Göran Hansson, señaló que es "demasiado pronto" para decir qué pasará y lamentó la muerte de Steinman, que se produjo el pasado viernes, según informó la Universidad de Rockefeller (EEUU), en la que trabajaba.

"Qué consecuencias prácticas tendrá esto lo estudiaremos durante los próximos días junto con la Fundación Nobel", dijo Hansson.

Hanson admitió que "en principio" no se puede premiar a un muerto, pero señaló que se trata de una "situación única", ya que Steinman falleció "horas antes de que se tomase la decisión".

Tres inmunólogos ganan el Premio Nobel de Medicina 2011


El Instituto Karolinska de Estocolmo dio a conocer que los merecedores del galardón son el estadounidense Bruce A. Beutler, el francés Jules A. Hoffmann y el canadiense Ralph M. Steinman.

03/10/2011



Bruce A. Beutler, Ralph M. Steinman y Jules A. Hoffmann.
Tres inmunólogos son los ganadores de la nueva edición del Nobel de Medicina. Así lo dio a conocer esta mañana el Instituto Karolinska de Estocolmo, donde precisan que se trata del estadounidense Bruce A. Beutler, el francés Jules A. Hoffmann y el canadiense Ralph M. Steinman.

El premio fue merecido por los tres científicos por su descripción del sistema inmune humano, que ha servido en la lucha contra enfermedades contagiosas, y para el desarrollo de vacunas.

Mientras que Beutler y Hoffman recibirán una mitad del premio por el estudio de la inmunidad congénita, Steinman recibirá la otra mitad por el descubrimiento de las células dendríticas que activan el sistema inmune.

El ganador de la versión 2010 del premio fue Robert G. Edwards, conocido como el padre del primer bebé probeta, por sus investigaciones sobre la fecundación in vitro.

Los inmunólogos recibirán el premio, que consta de 10 millones de coronas, en Estocolmo, el día 10 de diciembre, durante el aniversario de la muerte de Alfred Nobel.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Photos

Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley born 18 April 1987 is an English model and actress, best known for her work for Victoria's Secret, Burberry, and her role as Carly Spencer in the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, part of the Transformers film series.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was born at the Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth, Devon, England. Her mother, Fiona (née Jackson), is a fitness instructor, and her father, Charles Andrew Huntington-Whiteley, is a chartered surveyor. She has two younger siblings; a brother, Toby, and a sister, Florence. Her paternal great-great-grandfather was politician Sir Herbert Huntington-Whiteley, 1st Baronet; Herbert's son, Eric, was the "black sheep" of the family, and had married Rosie Huntington-Whiteley great-grandmother, Enid Kohn, who was from a family of Polish Jews who immigrated to England in the 1870s. Rosie's paternal grandmother was the daughter of Jacob Franks, a Sussex surgeon.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley grew up in Tavistock, Devon, on a farm. Growing up in Devon, she was bullied and teased at school for having a double-barrelled name, no breasts, and for her full lips (now one of her most famous assets). She got voted Miss Big Mouth because she talked constantly and, after a growth spurt at the age of 13, Girl Most Likely To Become A Supermodel. Bored of her farm life, she was eager to get out and go to London. In 2003, while studying at Tavistock College, she was discovered by Profile Model Management while seeking internships with several London based modelling agencies. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley first gig in front of the camera was at 16, posing for a Levi's commercial. She spent all of her first cheque on a Ford Ka, even though she couldn't drive, thinking it would be the one and only time she would ever get paid for modelling.

Ryan Gosling Wallpapers

Ryan Thomas Gosling born November 12, 1980 is a Canadian actor and musician. Having first gained notice at the age of 12 as a mouseketeer on the variety show The Mickey Mouse Club, Ryan Gosling has built a reputation for playing misfits in independent films: a fanatic Neo-Nazi in the The Believer (2001), a drug-addicted junior high school teacher in Half Nelson (2006), a socially inept loner in Lars and the Real Girl (2007) and a frazzled husband in Blue Valentine (2010). He has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Leading Actor (for Half Nelson) and two Golden Globe Awards (for Lars and the Real Girl and Blue Valentine).

His most commercially successful movie to date is 2004's romantic drama The Notebook. 2011 was a landmark year for the actor as he appeared in three mainstream films: romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, action movie Drive and political drama The Ides of March. His band, Dead Man's Bones, released their self-titled debut album in 2009.

Ryan Gosling was born in London, Ontario but grew up in Cornwall. He is the son of Donna, a secretary, and Thomas Gosling, a paper mill worker. His parents divorced when he was a child; he and his older sister were raised by their mother. He has commented, "I grew up with my mother and my sister so I've just been programmed to think like a girl. I'm attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life."

His parents were Mormons. "We were brought up pretty religious. My mother admits it: She says, you were raised by a religious zealot. She's different now, but at the time, it was a part of everything - what they ate, how they thought".

He had "no pals" as a child and was bullied in elementary school. "I hated being a kid. I didn't like being told what to do, I didn't like my body, I didn't like any of it. Being a kid and playing and all that stuff just drove me nuts." In Grade 1, having been heavily influenced by the film Rambo, he brought steak knives to school and threw them at other children during recess. This incident lead to a suspension. While attending Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School, he was diagnosed with ADHD, prescribed Ritalin and was placed in a class for special needs students. Consequently, his mother quit her job and homeschooled him for a year. Ryan Gosling has said that homeschooling gave him "a sense of autonomy that I've never really lost".

Ryan Gosling performed from an early age. He and his older sister, Mandi, sang together at weddings; he performed with his uncle's Elvis Presley tribute act, Elvis Perry, and he was involved with a local dance company. He spent part of his childhood in Florida, USA after successfully auditioning for a part on The Mickey Mouse Club at the age of twelve in Montreal Quebec at an open audition.

Ryan Gosling developed an idiosyncratic accent as a child, later explaining, "As a kid I thought having a Canadian accent didn't sound tough. I thought guys should sound like Marlon Brando. So now I have a phony accent that I can't shake, so it's not phony anymore." He dropped out of high school at the age of seventeen to focus on his acting career.
