From Benchmarks to Generalised Expectations
No full textA random variable can be equivalently regarded to as a function or as a “set”, namely, that of the points lying below (when positive) and above (when negative) its graph. The second approach, proposed by Segal in 1989, is known as the measure (or measurement) representation approach. On a technical ground, it allows for using Measure theory tools instead of Functional analysis ones, thus making often possible to reach new and deeper conclusions. On an interpretative ground, it makes clear how expectation and expected utility, either classical or a la Choquet, are structurally analogous and, moreover, it allows for dealing with new and more general types of expectations including, e.g., state dependence.
Starting from the measurement approach and from a decision-theoretical result by Castagnoli and LiCalzi (2006), we present a new representation theorem in the same perspective and, finally, we propose a definition of generalised expectations and two different concepts of associativity that can be imposed to them

Oral immunotherapy in pediatrics
No full textIgE-mediated food allergy (FA) has been emerging as a public health priority, mainly in children. It represents a heavy burden for the entire society and not only for the patients and their families. There is evidence that in children with persistent FA, at least to cow's milk, hen's egg, and peanut, oral immunotherapy (OIT) may increase the reaction threshold to food allergen(s), while receiving active therapy (the so-called “desensitization”). Furthermore, OIT protects patients from the occurrence of severe reactions in the event of accidental ingestion of the culprit food during treatment. However, many gaps are still unsolved, including safety issues, identification of predictive biomarkers, and post-desensitization efficacy. This article briefly summarizes the current evidence and the main needs in OIT to stimulate the development of longitudinal, prospective, well-designed studies able to fill the current gaps soon
