FIRENZE – Un appello del presidente Eugenio Giani per fermare la scure che si abbatterebbe sui comuni montani della Toscana, con i nuovi criteri introdotti dalla legge 131 del 2025 ed in particolare con il decreto attuativo che sarebbe prossimo alla pubblicazione e sul quale trapelerebbero perplessità da più parti.

“Inaccettabile – ha detto Giani – In Toscana passeremmo da 149 a 113 Comuni montani con questa legge che prevede come sostanziale, unico elemento di valutazione quello dell’altitudine; ci troveremmo un’Italia delle Alpi di serie A, con Regioni a Statuto speciale che a questi Comuni danno già grossi contributi, e un’Italia Appenninica che diventa di serie B, con tanti Comuni, che sono lontani dalle vie di comunicazione, che sono distanti dai grandi centri. Questa penalizzazione verso più di 30 Comuni in Toscana porterebbe ad abbassare il livello di finanziamento generale annuale, da 10 milioni di euro a tre milioni”.

Una contraddizione secondo il presidente Giani anche rispetto alle politiche regionali per la cosiddetta Toscana diffusa: “Da un lato la Regione fa la legge 11 del 2025 per promuovere il sostegno e la valorizzazione di questi Comuni e dall’altro lo Stato taglia così le gambe ai Comuni montani – ha detto sempre Giani – Ci opporremo con tutte le forze attraverso gli strumenti legali a disposizione. La mia piena solidarietà va ai Comuni che hanno preannunciato ricorsi e mobilitazioni attraverso Anci e Upi. Intanto rinnovo l’appello al governo affinchè non pubblichi questo decreto attuativo, ma riveda i criteri di attuazione della legge”.

FIRENZE – Sull’Hantavirus nessun allarmismo. È il messaggio di rassicurazione che il presidente Eugenio Giani rivolge ai toscani.

Il presidente ha voluto confermare che non ci sono altre persone in Toscana sottoposte a quarantena precauzionale oltre alla cittadina di Firenze per la quale è scattata l’attivazione delle procedure di isolamento a seguito di una comunicazione ufficiale del ministero della salute. E ha rassicurato riguardo ai rischi di contagio, precisando che: “Dobbiamo essere molto chiari, siamo su due situazioni completamente diverse”.

“L’Hantavirus – ha spiegato Giani – non è il Covid, per la trasmissione, molto più difficoltosa e anche lenta, occorre che abbia delle condizioni particolari, che ci siano i sintomi in essere. Conseguentemente lo scopo della quarantena è uno scopo precauzionale”.

Il presidente, invitando “a non assecondare un clima che puà portare ad una eccessiva preoccupazione”, ha fatto notare “la grande capacità operativa” e “di efficienza” mostrata dagli operatori “che sono riusciti ad arrivare con rapidità e tempestività, appena c’è stato comunicato da parte del ministero il nome e cognome della persona”.

Ha sottolineato come le attività di monitoraggio e prevenzione siano svolte “in stretto collegamento con il ministero, stretta sintonia di azione, in esecuzione di quelle che sono le disposizioni che arriveranno attraverso una circolare che nelle prossime ore, nei prossimi giorni sarà disposta e che noi osserveremo”.

Fornendo aggiornamenti sulle condizioni della donna attualmente in quarantena, la cui osservazione termina l’8 giugno, il presidente ha ribadito che la persona “è asintomatica ancora e” dunque “è evidente che non può contagiare altri”.

“I medici mi dicono che già la prossima settimana, se continuasse a non avere alcun sintomo si potrebbe dare come positivamente sviluppata l’osservazione”, ha aggiunto Giani, che ha ringraziato la paziente per lo spirito di collaborazione che sta dimostrando.

Sul tema anche l’ordine dei medici di Firenze: “Parlare oggi di Hantavirus significa fare informazione corretta su un’infezione rara, evitando sia allarmismi sia sottovalutazioni. Il rischio per la popolazione generale resta basso”. A dirlo è l’Ordine dei Medici Chirurghi e Odontoiatri della Provincia di Firenze, i

“Non siamo davanti a un altro Covid, perché la trasmissione da persona a persona non rappresenta la modalità tipica di diffusione dell’infezione. Nei casi osservati in Italia il decorso è stato spesso lieve o addirittura privo di sintomi – spiegano dall’Ordine – anche se in alcuni pazienti possono comparire febbre alta, dolori muscolari, mal di testa, nausea e forte stanchezza”.

“Sono considerazioni frutto anche dell’esperienza perché, ad esempio, già alla fine degli anni Ottanta, nell’area fiorentina, furono descritti alcuni episodi italiani con interessamento renale acuto legato al virus Hantaan, tra i primi segnalati nel nostro paese”, ricorda l’Ordine dei Medici.

“È vero che alcuni ceppi europei possono interessare il rene e provocare alterazioni della funzionalità renale, mentre varianti diffuse nelle Americhe possono causare complicanze polmonari più severe. No quindi alle sottovalutazioni ma no anche agli allarmismi. Il primo consiglio da dare ai cittadini – conclude l’Ordine – è rivolgersi al proprio medico soprattutto se compaiono febbre, difficoltà respiratorie, riduzione della diuresi o marcata debolezza”.

WARSAW, Poland, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bambu Lab is celebrating a major win today, as detailed in a new blog post. Following a rigorous full-day hands-on assessment by a panel of independent psychologists, physiotherapists, industry journalists, and celebrity parents, Bambu Lab’s A1 Combo has been crowned a top pick for educators and parents alike. 

The award granted to Bambu Lab A1 Combo validated the reasons why families, educators, and makers choose Bambu Lab. It’s the reliability, ease of use, repeatable results, as well as simply the ability to turn creative ideas into something real. 

A Historic First for Educational Toys 

The Bambu Lab A1 Combo has received the “Parents’ Award 2026” in the “Educational Aid” category. Organized by Zabawkowicz, one of the most important authorities in the Polish and Central European children’s industry, the Parents’ Award is a quality mark granted twice a year by a panel that includes psychologists, physiotherapists, industry journalists, and well-known parents. 

This year’s 23rd edition of the Toy of the Year competition was exceptional – marking the first time in the competition’s history that a 3D printer, the Bambu Lab A1 Combo, won in the educational aids category. 

The jury recognized that the A1 Combo is not a single-purpose device, but a versatile creative platform. It supports projects across all levels of complexity – from simple figurines to advanced educational models. 

Its role in building future-ready skills was explicitly highlighted: 3D modelling, logical thinking, and problem-solving in line with the STEAM approach. Independent experts, evaluating without bias, reached the same conclusion that the Bambu Lab community already holds: this technology belongs in the hands of the next generation. 

From Dad’s Basement to the Child’s Bedroom 

The goal of entering the competition was to reach parents who had heard about 3D printing but had never had the opportunity to see what this technology could offer their child – whether for homework, school projects, or simple creative play on the weekend. 

With the Bambu Lab A1 Combo, children could directly experience how a finished object – a gadget, an educational model, or a puzzle component – is created from a spool of filament. The machine’s approachability, the immediacy of results, and its ability to turn creative thinking into something children could hold in their hands: the experts saw all of this firsthand. 

The Parents’ Award serves as a credible, independent confirmation that the Bambu Lab A1 Combo is ready for everyday use at home and can be operated by children. 

In short, the judges concluded that the A1 Combo belongs on a shelf in a child’s room next to school supplies – not in dad’s basement. 

During the final event, the jury and their children tested all submitted products in practice throughout the day.  

The event also featured the Bambu Lab P2S Combo printer and CyberBrick kits, which combine 3D printing with electronics and programming, supported by Bambu Studio software and the Bambu Handy app. 

Robust Ecosystem 

The printer’s entry into the competition was submitted by Botland – the largest Bambu Lab reseller in Poland and one of the top five in Europe, also serving the Czech market. Botland was founded in 2010 by two students of Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Szymon Mońka and Bartosz Derkacz. Today, Botland is a big Polish company specializing in the distribution of electronic equipment, minicomputers, robotics and mechanical components, building automation systems, and 3D printing solutions. 

The award is also further proof that choosing Bambu Lab is always the right decision. Whether the printer is used in a professional design studio, a school lab, or a child’s bedroom – Bambu Lab products set the standard. And it’s not just about the hardware: the broader Bambu ecosystem ensures every user, from curious child to seasoned designer, has the tools to go further. This includes intuitive software like Bambu Studio and Bambu Handy, a thriving global maker community, and access to a vast number of free, downloadable 3D models via MakerWorld. 

The Parents’ Award 2026 is an achievement, but also another step along the way. Further initiatives and events aimed at families are already planned – because we firmly believe technology that transforms education should be accessible to everyone.

Bridge to life highlights study presented as oral late-breaking clinical trial during “The 2026 International Congress of the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS)” in Geneva, Switzerland, May 6-9, 2026 

DULUTH, Ga., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A first-of-its-kind global multicenter study has established the first international benchmark framework for pediatric liver transplantation (PLT), providing a long-awaited reference framework for morbidity, complications, graft survival, and recipient outcomes across diverse pediatric transplant populations worldwide. 

Presented as an oral late-breaking clinical trial during the 2026 International Congress of the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) in Geneva, Switzerland, this landmark analysis addresses one of the most significant unmet needs in pediatric transplantation: the absence of globally standardized outcome benchmarks to guide graft selection, risk stratification, and post-transplant quality assessment. For additional details, click here for the abstract. 

Led by Sapana Verma, MD, PhD, and under the mentorship of Prof. Andrea Schlegel, from Cleveland Clinic, the study analyzed primary pediatric liver transplants performed between 2000 and 2024 across nine high-volume transplant centers spanning North America, Asia, Europe, South America, and Africa/Middle East. 

“Globally accepted benchmark standards for pediatric liver transplantation have been sorely lacking,” said Dr. Verma. “Our goal has been to establish international benchmark reference standards for morbidity and survival after pediatric liver transplantation and to derive a data-driven graft-selection decision framework across heterogeneous pediatric subgroups.” 

The benchmark cohort demonstrated significantly lower major morbidity, fewer renal, vascular, and biliary complications, as well as shorter ICU and hospital length of stay. Importantly, the benchmarking model robustly differentiated outcomes across heterogeneous pediatric populations, creating a scalable platform for future global quality assessment and risk-adjusted outcome analysis. 

The researchers plan to expand the work to a ≥10,000 recipient multicenter cohort to establish definitive global reference standards and validate outcome thresholds across recipient age, weight, liver disease etiology, graft type, and combined risk profiles. 

“This work is highly important because pediatric transplantation has historically lacked the standardized reference points that exist in adult transplantation,” said Don Webber, President and CEO of Bridge to Life Ltd. “As the field advances toward precision graft assessment, viability evaluation, and optimized preservation strategies such as hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE), having robust benchmark standards becomes essential. These reference standards help define not only what success looks like, but how we improve access to safe transplantation for more pediatric patients worldwide.” 

Research involving Bridge to Life’s VitaSmart™ Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion (HOPE) System has demonstrated HOPE to be safe and effective in pediatric liver transplantation, supporting the growing role of machine perfusion and viability-guided decision-making in this highly specialized population. 

As pediatric transplantation moves toward more individualized graft selection and broader use of advanced preservation technologies, these newly established benchmark standards provide a critical foundation for the next generation of clinical decision-making. While benchmarking defines what is achievable, advanced preservation strategies such as HOPE offer a promising pathway to bring higher-risk grafts closer to benchmark-level outcomes. 

About Bridge to Life™ Ltd 

Bridge to Life™ Ltd is global innovator of organ preservation technologies and solutions, offering premier products such as Belzer UW®, EasiSlush® and the VitaSmart™ Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion System. With a strong focus on product quality, innovation and accessibility, the company serves and partners with leading Transplant Centers and Organ Procurement Organizations globally.

FOLLONICA – Un insegnante di 51 anni è stato trovato senza vita nella casa vacanze di Follonica domenica 10 maggio. A lanciare l’allarme è stata la moglie, che non riusciva a contattarlo da ore: il telefono squillava a vuoto da sabato, giorno in cui l’uomo aveva lasciato la casa di Siena per raggiungere l’appartamento follonichese dove la famiglia era solita trascorrere le vacanze.

Preoccupata dal prolungato silenzio, la donna si è rivolta ai carabinieri di Siena, che a loro volta hanno contattato i colleghi di Follonica. A insospettire ulteriormente i militari giunti sul posto sono stati anche alcuni vicini, che da ore sentivano squillare un cellulare all’interno dell’alloggio senza che nessuno rispondesse. La porta era chiusa dall’interno: necessario l’intervento dei vigili del fuoco per accedere all’appartamento di via San Martino. Il corpo dell’uomo è stato trovato disteso sul pavimento.

Sul corpo non sono stati rilevati segni di violenza né tracce di effrazione alla porta d’ingresso. La causa del decesso, probabilmente un malore, sarà accertata attraverso l’autopsia disposta dalla Procura. La salma è stata trasferita all’obitorio dell’ospedale Misericordia.

Il professore, laureato in ingegneria, insegnava in una scuola superiore di Siena, dove era molto conosciuto e stimato. La notizia ha lasciato senza parole colleghi e dirigenza scolastica, già informati nelle prime ore.

Studies presented as part of “The 2026 International Congress of the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS)” in Geneva, Switzerland, May 6-9, 2026 

Presentations further support use of HOPE in U.S. and EU for making more organs available for transplantation, reducing registry list waiting times 

DULUTH, Ga., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bridge to Life™ Ltd., a global innovator in organ preservation solutions and perfusion technology, today announced new data from studies using Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion (HOPE) for the preservation of donor livers awaiting transplantation. The studies collectively demonstrate that HOPE with VitaSmart™ improves utilization of steatotic, older, and previously discarded donor livers, while preserving mitochondrial function and supporting flavin mononucleotide (FMN) as a direct biomarker of graft viability. Together, these findings strengthen the clinical and economic case for broader adoption of HOPE across transplant centers in the U.S. and Europe. 

“FDA clearance of VitaSmart™ established Bridge to Life as the first company to bring HOPE to the U.S. market as a cleared platform for liver transplantation. These new ILTS data reinforce that HOPE is not simply a preservation strategy—it is a tool for organ recovery, viability assessment, and better transplant decision-making,” said Don Webber, president and CEO of Bridge to Life Ltd. “By extending the use of marginal donor organs and preserving mitochondrial integrity, we are helping transplant teams move from preservation toward precision transplantation.”

CGTN published an article examining why the world is closely watching the upcoming China-US summit. Against a backdrop of prolonged geopolitical tensions and fragile global recovery, the article highlights how head-of-state diplomacy serves as the “anchor” of China-US relations. It also explores how the summit could inject greater certainty into an increasingly volatile world.
 

BEIJING, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump will pay a state visit to China from May 13 to 15, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Monday. 

At a time of prolonged geopolitical tensions and fragile global recovery, the world is closely watching whether the two leaders can further stabilize China-US relations and inject much-needed certainty into the international landscape. 

Keeping China-US relations on the right course
 

For many observers, the summit reflects one core hope: stability in bilateral ties. 

Interviews conducted by CGTN show a common view among experts that head-of-state diplomacy has long served as the “anchor” of that stability. 

As Wu Xinbo, dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, put it, such head-of-state diplomacy “sets the tone and defines the direction” of bilateral ties. 

Christopher Newport University’s Associate Professor Sun Taiyi similarly noted that direct leader-to-leader communication helps reduce uncertainty, prevent miscalculation and signal that stability remains the overriding priority. 

Over the past year, the two leaders have maintained communication through phone calls and a face-to-face meeting in Busan, the Republic of Korea (ROK), helping prevent major miscalculations and keeping the overall relationship stable. 

As Xi told Trump in Busan, “In the face of winds, waves and challenges, we should stay the right course, navigate through the complex landscape, and ensure the steady sailing forward of the giant ship of China-US relations.” 

That metaphor of “steering the ship” has been reflected in concrete progress. 

Since 2025, under the strategic consensus reached by the two heads of state, economic teams from both sides have held multiple rounds of talks, while large-scale tariff escalation has been paused. A new round of consultations is set to take place in the ROK from May 12 to 13, just ahead of the Beijing summit. 

People-to-people exchanges have also regained momentum. In April, Beijing hosted events marking the 55th anniversary of China-US “Ping-Pong Diplomacy,” with hundreds of young Chinese and Americans taking part in sports and cultural exchanges. More US youth groups have also traveled to China for exchange and study programs. 

Bringing certainty to a changing world
 

As the world’s two largest economies, and with China-US relations standing as one of the most important bilateral ties globally, outcomes of head-of-state diplomacy between the two countries not only help stabilize bilateral relations, but also have a broader impact on global development and governance. 

As Peterson Institute Senior Fellow Chad Bown noted, “virtually everyone has a stake in the outcome.” Cornell University economist Eswar Prasad went further, suggesting the meeting could carry implications for global trade, geopolitics and even the “rules-based order.” 

CGTN interviews with experts highlight the similar points. 

Zhang Tengjun, associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, said deeper cooperation could inject momentum into global recovery and stabilize industrial and supply chains, stressing that the trajectory of bilateral ties is closely tied to the world’s future. 

On this point, scholar Sun said that stable relations reduce risks of supply chain disruption, financial volatility and geopolitical fragmentation. 

Dean Wu noted that as the world’s two major technological powers, China and the United States have the capacity to generate “win-win outcomes” through practical cooperation, supporting broader global growth and scientific progress. 

Likewise, Cui Fan, vice dean of the University of International Business and Economics, emphasized that both countries share responsibility for the stability of global governance. 

Xi underlined this responsibility in Busan as well: “The world today is confronted with many tough problems. China and the United States can jointly shoulder our responsibility as major countries, and work together to accomplish more great and concrete things for the good of our two countries and the whole world.” 

This year provides a window for that responsibility to be tested, with China hosting APEC and the United States hosting the G20 Leaders’ Summit – two platforms that could open space for coordination on global recovery, food and energy security, debt risks, and governance reform. 

In a February phone call with Trump, Xi set out a pragmatic path forward: “If the two sides work in the same direction in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, we can surely find ways to address each other’s concerns.” 

The world will watch the upcoming summit to see how Beijing and Washington can translate into action Xi’s call to “make progress step by step to build mutual trust, find the right way to get along, and make 2026 a year where the two major countries advance toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.”

KATOWICE, Poland, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 2026 European Economic Congress (EEC 2026), MICROIP Chairman Dr. James Yang participated in a high-level dialogue at the “Poland-Taiwan Economic Cooperation Forum.” Joined by Ambassador Liu Yong-jian and HCG Vice Chairman Michael Chiu, Dr. Yang advocated leveraging Taiwan’s semiconductor prowess to propel Poland into a strategic hub for European Edge AI. 

Addressing the “Last Mile” of AI deployment, Dr. Yang noted that global adoption is hindered by fragmented end-user demands and the high cost of general-purpose chips. “MICROIP advocates a ‘Software-Driven Hardware’ approach,” Yang stated, emphasizing translating domain expertise into silicon reality. By utilizing mainstream chip platforms alongside MICROIP’s low-power Customized ASIC Design Services (CATS) and AIVO No-Code platform, engineers can transform specific industry knowledge into specialized applications with minimal barriers. This model has already demonstrated commercial success in autonomous UAV navigation—tracking objects without internet access—and in smart cities, where on-device processing protects privacy while saving critical bandwidth. 

The forum highlighted the synergy between Poland’s “Soft Intelligence” and Taiwan’s “Hard Foundations”. Michael Chiu of HCG identified Poland as a core innovation partner for Taiwan’s security industry. Dr. Yang noted that combining Europe’s software talent with Taiwan’s hardware creates a “resilient supply chain,” establishing Poland as an “AI Hardware-Software Innovation Hub”. Furthermore, MICROIP collaborates with its sister company, Arculus EDA UK, to provide professional EDA services. This strategic partnership significantly reduces the ASIC R&D-to-mass-production cycle, allowing MICROIP to co-define global AIoT standards while providing European clients with the most cost-effective solutions to meet localized market needs.  

“Talent is the ultimate currency of the AI industry; we invest where the talent is,” Yang concluded. Success will be measured by a deep symbiosis of technology and talent, moving beyond simple trade to a thriving industrial ecosystem. This strategic alignment positions MICROIP to bridge technical value with international capital markets, opening a new chapter for the global ASIC and AI software design service industry.

FIRENZE – A partire da mercoledì 13 maggio prenderà il via l’iter per l’assegnazione di nuovi fondi destinati al rinnovamento degli impianti di risalita toscani di proprietà pubblica. L’avviso regionale mette sul piatto una dotazione complessiva di 1,5 milioni di euro, con la possibilità per gli enti interessati di presentare la documentazione necessaria entro la scadenza fissata al 15 giugno.

La misura punta a dare nuovo slancio all’economia delle zone montane attraverso interventi di riqualificazione e ammodernamento. Il presidente della Regione Eugenio Giani e l’assessore a economia, turismo e agricoltura Leonardo Marras inquadrano in questo modo le finalità dell’iniziativa: “Stanziamo risorse importanti. L’obiettivo del bando è incoraggiare i destinatari ad investire per migliorare l’offerta, aumentare la sicurezza, sostenere la capacità turistica per tutto l’anno ed incidere in questo modo sullo sviluppo economico dei territori interessati”.

Il bando è strutturato su due distinti filoni economici ed è indirizzato in via esclusiva agli enti locali, nello specifico Province, Comuni e Unioni di Comuni.

Il primo canale, finanziato con un milione di euro, riguarda le spese in conto capitale ed è riservato unicamente agli enti che detengono la proprietà delle infrastrutture di risalita. In questo perimetro, il tetto massimo per ogni singolo progetto ammonta a 400mila euro, con una copertura che non potrà varcare la soglia dell’80% della spesa considerata ammissibile.

La seconda linea di intervento, dotata del restante mezzo milione di euro, serve invece a coprire le spese correnti. A questo fondo possono accedere sia i proprietari degli impianti (che hanno quindi la facoltà di sfruttare entrambe le opzioni del bando), sia quegli enti locali non proprietari che sostengono costi legati esclusivamente alle infrastrutture pubbliche e agli spazi posti a servizio delle piste e degli impianti stessi. Per questa seconda categoria, la spesa massima autorizzata scende a 62.500 euro, mantenendo comunque invariato il limite di contribuzione massima fissato all’80%.

Le risorse sono destinate unicamente ai territori classificati come comprensori sciistici secondo i parametri dettati dalla legge regionale 41 promulgata nel 2025. La mappa geografica degli interventi potenziali comprende le aree dell’Amiata (coinvolgendo i territori di Castel del Piano, Seggiano e Abbadia San Salvatore), della Garfagnana (Castiglione di Garfagnana e Careggine), della Montagna Pistoiese (Abetone Cutigliano, San Marcello Piteglio e Sambuca Pistoiese) e, infine, il comprensorio di Zeri nell’omonimo comune.
