Classical mean variance utility of Markowitz [1952] and Tobin [1958] have relied on objective expected utility hypothesis. This paper presents a choice-based axiomatization of mean variance utility, in a Savage-type setting of ambiguity, which neither assumes nor implies that individual’s preferences over portfolios conform to the expected utility hypothesis.

Tobin and colleagues show that both inhibition and excessive production of the inflammatory mediator TNFα impact the pathogenesis of tuberculosis (TB) and the response to therapy. Identifying a critical role for the genetically determined balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids in regulating TNFα levels provides a roadmap to tailored TB treatment based on host genotype.
