 Stories of winners. Stories of 16 patients who have beaten cancer. Nine men and seven women have recounted the anguish and despair at diagnosis. But without ever losing the strength to rise to the possibility of using innovative therapies immuno-oncology. These are the stories of 16 patients in the book “You can win” (ed. Guerini, pp.170, by Mauro Boldrini, Sabrina Smerrieri, Paul Cabra, in bookstores in September at a price of 14.50 euro and income from sales They are intended to AIOM Foundation) presented at the 51st Congress of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), which ends today, June 2.

 

 

  BOOK – Their quality of life is good today and, in some cases, can claim to have finally defeated the disease. “The volume – said prof. Carmine Pinto, national president of the Italian Association of Medical Oncology (AIOM) – is part of a broad campaign of our scientific society sull’immuno-oncology, with the support of Bristol-Myers Squibb. The book is divided into two parts. In the first we have analyzed the evolution of cancer treatment in recent decades, responding to questions about how they have changed the treatment, with emphasis on surgery, chemotherapy, biological therapy, and radiation therapy. It then described the new phase in the treatment of tumors represented dall’immuno-oncology, which activates the immune system to fight cancer cells and that can raise expectations of survival. ” Melanoma has been the model for its application, now this approach is being extended successfully to other cancers, such as lung and kidney. “Through its mechanism of action – continues the professor. Pinto -, immuno-oncology unable to restrict and stop the disease for a long period. We are facing an important new oncology of the third millennium. In the second part we collected significant evidence of patients treated with immuno-oncology, men and women who, in some cases, living with the disease for many years with a good quality of life. A very important objective, already achieved in other diseases such as HIV infection. With the new treatments are succeeding more and more available to the chronic course of some cancers. “

 

 

  CANCER BEHIND – In recent decades we are witnessing in Italy to a progressive increase in the number of patients with a “long history of cancer behind” were less than a million and a half in the early nineties Two and a half million in 2012, almost three million in 2014. In 2020 there will be four and a half million. The scenario of oncology is rapidly changing: the tumors have a strong influence as a disease of old age and the number of new cases is growing in relation to the progressive aging of the population.

 

 

  MINISTER – “The data, figures and findings – said the Minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, in the preface of the book – tells us that the fight against this disease, in part already defeated, can score every day points in favor of those who fought. This volume collects the precious testimonies of patients treated with a new weapon, immunotherapy. Their words convey to us courage, strength and, above all, hope. It is essential to ensure that all patients care more and more innovative research provides. Aspire to high standards of prevention and treatment is not only an ambition of technological and scientific progress but also of civilization and democracy. Address the issue of health means tackling the expectations and hopes of millions of patients, empathize with their daily inconveniences and defend their quality of life. “

Donors drop: 719 people on the list for a heart – BBC

Day for Organ Donation

Milan , May 31, 2015 – 10:28

     
     
 

Anna Partridges, of Arezzo, 52, to five years and six months coexists with a titanium turbine that helps his heart. It is the longest Italian patient supported by a support system of the heart’s left ventricle. His life has changed for the positive after more than 10 years of struggle against dilated cardiomyopathy appearance when Mrs. Anna was not yet 50 years old and deteriorated sharply around his 57th birthday. Difficult transplantation, apart from the shortage of donors, for a pulmonary pressure too high resulting to his heart run down. So he has known Jarvik 2000, the name of the turbine titanium that have implanted in 2009 at the Polyclinic of Siena The Sheets. An example. An alternative to waiting lists for a heart transplant. Central theme of the Day for Organ Donation (31 May), promoted by the National Transplant Centre (CNT) and associations of donors and patients Aido, Admo, Aned, Acti, AITF. Many problems and many new products that currently characterize the world of organ transplants. Technological advances in road safety have cut down the number of victims of accidents, and this is certainly good; good but limited availability of organs for transplant.

In Italian heart transplants, for example, fell from nearly 350 in 2005 to 226 in 2014. The application in the same period remained stable, with a waiting list indeed increased slightly from 702 to 719 patients waiting for a new heart. A list from which come some 300 people a year, unfortunately also in the worst way (mortality 6.1% equal to about 60 deaths, since 2013). Countless patients who, because of age or other parameters incompatible with the transplant, can not even get on hold (http://www.trapianti.salute.gov.it/) and hope. The Municipalities (ANCI) were involved to promote the culture of organ donation. The Minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin gave a strong boost to the municipalities it did parties active in urging citizens to explain its decisions on the donation. After his appeal joined about 200 municipalities, now in total over 450. The recorded statements from their offices were about 15 thousand in 2014, the trend is growing and it is hoped that this year will get to 40 thousand statements. What better occasion of the Day of organ donation to talk with family and friends?

The technology intervenes to try to limit the differential between supply and demand of organs : we resort to artificial implants, and as a temporary solution while waiting for transplantation and as a permanent therapy. In addition, newer equipment can improve the conservation of organs taken from the donor and of delaying their availability. And ‘thanks to these new systems that in March this year in England, for the first time in Europe, it was possible to explant a heart now completely still, wake it and recover the function. Finally, the long awaited transplant.

Today, if there is a donation activates a system Alert run by NTC or fees Regional Centers (depends on the type of organ). Within hours, the potential recipient must be contacted, accept the donation, go to your own frame of reference and prepare intervention. The donor organ arrives within 3-6 hours by means of law enforcement, or air transport dedicated, and is stored in freezer laptops not very different from those of Sunday picnics. In a recent episode of coordination between health facilities and the State Police, 11 teams of four hospitals in Lombardy and Tuscany have played in succession six cross-over kidney transplants from living donors, triggered first Italian case, the noble gesture of a donation “Samaritan”: someone who has given a kidney altruistically, ie without any joint in the lane in a situation of need. To enable this incredible series of interventions, in addition to the generosity of donors, to all medical professionals involved and impressive organizational machine, there was the Lamborghini Gallardo Police that the 300 per hour, has been commuting from one hospital to another carrying the precious cargo lifesaving quickly.

In order to prevent the rapid decay of the organs, always the technology today makes available a sort of incubator portable , at the time to lung, heart and liver. By adjusting the various parameters of the machine, it can take 12 to 24 hours the time of organ availability. It is estimated that thanks to this trick the availability of organs could grow to about 30 percent. In Italy these machines, which are called “Organ Care System”, are being tested in Padua and Udine. Then there are the so-called artificial hearts latest generation. Properly it is supports the electromechanical ventricular function. Portable and battery-powered: the patient can wait for transplantation while maintaining an acceptable quality of life. The power cord is however a problem: passing outside of the body through the abdominal wall, constitutes a dangerous door for infections. It should therefore be regularly medicated and monitored.

However, if the transplant option is not viable, there is something further advanced . Like that of Ms. Anna. It is suppose electromechanical (also called Vad, Ventricular assist device) powered by a cable from the heart, passing within the body, goes back up to the area behind the ear, particularly suited because well vascularized and much more solid abdomen . In this area the surgeon applies the skull a kind of plug that works as an interface between the internal cables connected to the device, and external cables, which lead to the batteries and the control console. The quality of life is high, considering that patients can also bathe and shower. A real luxury for those who live hooked to machines, albeit evolved and less bulky. Machines which, as in the case of Anna partridges, become part of the body itself, apart from the pin that comes out from behind the ear. “With the Jarvik 2000 – explains Guido Sani, director of advanced therapies for heart failure of Careggi in Florence and coordinator of the Regional Centre heart transplants – Mrs. Anna regained the pleasure and the desire to live, has expanded its store in center of Arezzo and it now enjoys children and grandchildren in this sort of second life. ” The future of the device? “Batteries with better performance, contactless charging systems and further miniaturization, while in France you look carefully at the human trials of the total artificial heart Carmat”, a prototype implantable fully reached the third case (the transaction took place on 8 April). The first two patients, in heart failure terminal and not candidates for transplantation, have survived with this type of heart respectively 74 days and 9 months.

The future of physics, technology at the service of the search – The Nation

Portoferraio (Livorno), May 30, 2015 – It was concluded with the awarding of young scientists 13th Pisa meeting on advanced detectors , the conference on the technological frontiers of physics which brought together for a week on the Island of Elba over 500 scientists from around the world, for the most the experimental physicists, along with representatives of the industries at the forefront of creating the necessary tools to search. Five young hopefuls, whose names were chosen by an international commission and revealed only at the end of the conference. The award of ‘Frontier detectors for Physics Frontier’ was awarded to Roberto Acciarri, laboratory Fermilab in Chicago, Raffaella Donghia, the National Laboratories of Frascati and Lars Graber of the University of Gottingen. Two other awards, chosen by the Board of the conference, were awarded by the publishing company Elsevier, which publishes the most ‘important scientific journal of instrumentation for nuclear and particle physics. These went to Philip Resnati CERN and Joana Wirth of ‘University of Monaco.

The meeting held in the conference room at the Hotel Hermitage Biodola has also offered an opportunity for students of Elba open doors unknown knowledge of a subject as fascinating as the physics and its future implications in our daily lives. During the week, in fact, 80 students from four classes of high school Foresi of Portoferraio they are ‘compared’ with some of the personalities most ‘prominent in the world of Internet. Prepared by their teacher, Professor Anselmi, have supported a roundtable with Fabrizio Gagliardi, a leading expert of the European web, Enzo Valente, founder of the network Garr, the communication system of the telematic universities Italian, Federico Ruggeri, director of Garr, and Giuseppe Attardi, professor at the University of Pisa. The organizers of the conference have wanted this meeting together to INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics), the Consortium Garr, the University of Pisa and the Municipality of Portoferraio right to build a bridge with the younger generation. Opportunities that students have welcomed with enthusiasm by asking questions competent and curious especially on some lesser-known aspects of the computer world, from ‘darkweb’, ie the network infrastructure created to confidential information not intended for the public, and the systems of espionage via Internet.

“We are in the information warfare – said Fabrizio Gagliardi – The wars change according to the times and the technology is currently underway. Managing to blow up some systems blocks the economy of entire areas or intercept the news industry, as has already happened. This is why now many countries, like the United States and Japan, do not trust most ‘electronics that comes from abroad and produce in their territory the entire IT supply chain. From this point of view in Europe there is a big and dangerous indifference. Dangerous not for ‘business opportunities’ but for the same national security. In fact, if the servers are of foreign origin who says that within them there is a back door that allows their manufacturers to spy on our industry? We can not ‘afford it. “

Enzo Valente has instead emphasized the delay technology of Italy.” In 2008 we were roughly in mid-table in the 28 EU countries. In 2012 we finished in last place – he said -. In the last four years we have not been laid cables nor was funded research. What to do? The choice is to start from the school, it served to date by a line obsolete as the DSL that allows you to get everything right, but do not send information to the same extent. In this way it happened that the young generations are well-versed in doing what others have already done, but are not able to invent anything. “

Valente has therefore encouraged the students to engage in the development of Portoferraio Innovation, by ceasing to be passive usufruitori. But for this to work we need to develop a technology environment for which it was requested substantial resources to the European Economic Community, which expects a reply. ‘Pisa meeting on advanced detectors’, however, is beginning to move in this direction and to thank the Elba Island hospitality offered to their meeting chose the high school of Portoferraio to start a course in computer literacy. The first two classes were conducted last week with two classes of pupils in the first year, thanks to the exceptional teachers as Marco Substandard, researcher of, Maddalena Vario and Charles Fox Garr. The ‘helm’ of course is now past teachers of mathematics, Alexander Marino and Carolina Aloisio, in constant contact with the INFN. Fireworks in the sky Biodola, offered by the hotel Hermitage which for years hosting the conference, ideally have concluded its work The appointment is three years.

Contributions up to 10,000 euro for those who want the smart home – Il Messaggero Veneto

 UDINE. The amount available will reach 4 million and a half and the announcement will be open by mid-June. The loans will range from a minimum of 3,000 euro to a maximum of 10,000.

 

 It also will be eligible to contribute to the achievements of home automation systems, those systems technology “smart” installed in the house reduces energy consumption – the use of automatic appliances lighting – and improve security.

 

 The junta of Debora Serracchiani yesterday approved the new regulation to finance energy efficiency measures in the first house, expanding the possibilities provided by the law passed by the center. Home automation and systems of storage systems to solar energy are the main new features.

 

 “These contributions – said the Councillor for Public Works Mariagrazia Santoro – are one of the channels to support families most appreciated. Right, so, take account of technological that today allows to intervene effectively through home automation systems in reducing home energy consumption. For this we have made changes to the existing regulation in coordination with the national legislation on white certificates “.

 

 The new rules provide a score for each intervention. The maximum – 12 points – is assigned to the realization of the insulation of the house, while 10 points will go to those who ask to isolate the floor or the attic. And again.

 

 The replacement of windows and doors will be awarded nine points and eight will go to these projects, which will receive a title of energy efficiency (white certificates) and installation of boilers for heating or for the adaptation of those plants.

 

 The lowest score – three – will go to the construction of solar thermal, and will collect six points the retrofit of power generation plants. Based on the questions that will come they will be formed a ranking based on the scores already defined. It then will be supported requests from the first until the regional resources available.

 

 “Operations financed involve a considerable impact on the economy of the area – added Santoro – improving housing conditions, with works in this

would not be made difficult economic environment without the presence of an incentive, and have positive effects the saving of fossil fuels for heating and safety achieved with the retrofit of plants often obsolete. ”

Google introduces the new technology of the near future: the … – Magazinet (Blog)

 

Google I / O

Needless to too much circled around when Google presents news that invade many areas of daily life always scares even more than other competitors especially thinking of what has already invaded the life especially for those who work on the internet but we try anyway to enjoy the upcoming new venture submitted to the Google I / O including an app for photos virtually unlimited Project Brillo that will “talk” to each other our homes more and more smart and then perhaps the most interessant Android M, the system Pay Android OS that will contain the new system for payments by phone but let’s see what it is about everything.

The most interesting is undoubtedly Android M , the new version of mobile operating system, which was given wide preview. Comes the long awaited Android Pay , a system for payments that direclty challenge to Apple, because based on the same technology: the NFC (Near Field Communication) that allows you to transact approaching the phone to special readers. Pay with Android also payments will be authorized with fingerprint and will take place without having to open “app” apart.

In the houses smart Google was already facing last year buying Nest , the company that manufactures thermostats connected, but today the giant California enters with giant leap. The revolution is named Project Brillo, in practice an ad hoc version of Android for The Internet of Things that will talk to each other household items connected, from the refrigerator to the washing machine. It will arrive in the third quarter and will be followed by Weave , a communication protocol for the connected devices. There have been news for your living room: Pinchai has announced that it has sold 17 million keys Chromecasts and the new partnership with Now HBO (manufacturer TV series such as The Throne of Swords) .

Lenovo Smart Cast and Magic View: smartphone with projector and … – International Business Times Italian

Yesterday was packed with news for fans of technology and consumer electronics as well as the Google I / O that we told you in this article, was held in Beijing on Tech World . It is a high-tech event which was also attended by Lenovo , the Asian giant has announced that notebook, tablets and gadgets also showing some concept about what is working and therefore could come to market in the next few years, ready to revolutionize the user experience to which users are accustomed to.

The first of these is Lenovo Smart Cast , a smartphone with integrated laser projector rotating can project videos and images on any surface , but also keyboards and other control interfaces on nearby surfaces to the smartphone. The integrated module, great just 34 x 26 x 5 mm , offers two modes of operation: Wall and surface .

In the first case the image is projected on the wall in the second, as shown in the picture at the beginning, you see a touch display on the virtual table. Ideal for to play or work with their applications dedicated to productivity. Technology exists today in the market but that precisely because of the lack of or imperfect integration with devices such as smartphones, materialized as a stalemate.

Lenovo Smart Cast, trying to reverse this situation , is still a prototype so that we do not know the technical features that the engineers of the group could include in the body, designed for the occasion, simple and linear and considerable thickness, this subject to changes.

Lenovo Magic View, the smartwatch magic Lenovo

Another interesting concept is shown by Lenovo Magic View , one smartwatch apparently like others that hides between the dial and the strap a Virtual Interactive Display. It is a patented solution from Lenovo that solves the main limitation of smartwatch: the small size of the screen, that exploiting the optical reflection to create virtual images and give the user the illusion of watching a screen 20 times larger .

That’s why Magic View, literally magical vision. The smartwatch, like smartphone with projector, has an aluminum body of the size not really comparable to those of a clock or a smartwatch. One issue on which Lenovo said to be working through a process of miniaturization of components which will culminate shortly before a possible commercialization.

In this case you do not know the features of Lenovo Magic View that certainly will be based on Android , the likely evolution of Wear, and will include support to the sensors more common.

Ease of use for citizens and for us that we run the app, completeness of features, excellent service training and support model development and technological guarantees, were the aspects that we have feasts that Municipium was the most in line with our needs. For example, a citizen thanked me because the application reminded him of exposing the plastic to collect door-to-door. “

THE COURIER AND OUT NOW ON LINE OF 28 MAY

Change.org, interview the new Italian manager – Wired.it

More than three million users, great results (such as cancellation of the annuity parliaments convicted of mafia and corruption) and the knowledge to change the culture of citizens and decision-makers. And coming soon is the Decision Maker Tool, which lets users talk to politicians and corporations: “Who dare put us face”

Live

28 May 2015

“ The culture is changing because people are aware that they now have the opportunity to influence decisions taken from above “. He has no doubt Elisa Finocchiaro , new country lead to Change.org for Italy , about the most important factor for change generated by the success of online petitions. An ascent in constant flux, as evidenced by almost 100 million people across the globe, from million plentiful petitions so far launched (with a monthly rate of about 29 thousand new requests) and support of more than 200 associations and non-profit organizations such as Amnesty, PETA, WWF, Oxfam America and Doctors Without Borders .

Italy is one of the most sensitive markets the will to change, so in 2012 the founder Ben Rattrey has endorsed the landing in the Bel Paese (one of 20 states where it operates a staff of Change.org, currently present in 196 countries), where Finocchiaro leads a team of five people (average age 30 years) are able to forge ahead and bring the most effective tool for activism on the mouth of more than 3.3 million users Italians . Thanks to them, the results exceeded expectations, not only in numbers: if the 365 victories so far are the “rescue” of Twin Peaks or preview World Star Wars: The awakening of the force , is a success is unbelievable that the cancellation of annuity MPs convicted of mafia and corruption (campaign launched by Free and Group Abel, signed by 522,990 supporters). Symbol with Change.org you may be able to pierce the corporatism that continues to restrain the change. Not surprisingly, social mobilization in salsa web has touched us the 25 thousand petitions, with an average of 650 new campaigns and 150 thousand new subscribers each month. “ The most eloquent proof that the petitions online not only work, but well involve more and more Italian collecting change requests disparate that develop on an open technology platform and neutral “.

Terms, the latter two of which Finocchiaro insists often during our meeting in the new Rome offices, in the district of Testaccio, to Change.org. “ Italy is not like the US and Anglo-Saxon countries, attention to ethics and will of the citizens, but we are doing is looking at road users, and decision makers. The latter, first, know that Change.org is a point of permanent observation, whose action does not end when the case which concerns them disappear from the pages of newspapers or websites . In addition to rebounds on Facebook and Twitter, we are here to keep vigilant and monitor the situation “. Concept tying itself in knots to news of greatest impact caused by the visibility achieved in Italy: “ The main message is that citizens come to The world around us can be changed, even by us. By increasing this awareness, people do not stop to petition online but continue to follow it, update it and spread it until you get to victory “. Not all campaigns are consensus, especially without those factors needed to hit the popular imagination; for this very often the team Change.org must intervene to enrich the petition: “B ood of the new requests each day we find online are not all it takes to establish itself, then we’ll take care to structure a campaign ad hoc. The ideal promoter should have a life experience that allows you to make a judgment on the issue launched , because it will have greater resonance, then we must consider the opportunity to impact that history has to be able to effect change . “

The global spread, the slenderness of the platform and the growing attention of the media and decision makers require Change.org honing tools and introduce new to attract new users ; the mobile application and the new search mode (with geolocation that explores such petitions are active in a given place) are two of the features that will come soon to improve and enrich the experience of members. After inaugurating the role of mediator for the associations in support of the people in need, supporting the cause of act to send aid to Nepal affected by the tragic earthquake, on the Italian side is taking shape the Decision Tool Maker , a project that brings together citizens and decision-makers, both public and private. “ As is the case on social networks, politicians and big corporations will have their own profile on Change.org where discover and respond to petitions that concern them. Unlike Facebook and Twitter, but not here programming the post and there is no advertising, but the brave puts his face to communicate with users “(the Mayor of Naples, Luigi De Magistris and Trenitalia have been among the first to accept the proposal, ed ). Despite the difficulty in finding partners willing to face without filters, this is another interesting attempt to bring people back to the center of decision-making and force decision makers to explain every move on.
