In a Mean Field Game (MFG) each decision maker cares about the cross sectional distribution of the state and the dynamics of the distribution is generated by the agents' optimal decisions. We prove the uniqueness of the equilibrium in a class of MFG where the decision maker controls the state at optimally chosen times. This setup accommodates several problems featuring non-convex adjustment costs, and complements the well known drift-control case studied by Lasry-Lions.

- Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are inherited disorders that significantly increase the risk of severe infections and other serious health issues, with early detection being crucial, especially for severe combined immunodeficiency in newborns.
- A study in Tuscany, Italy, assessed the effectiveness of an expanded newborn screening (NBS) strategy that used advanced assays to identify various IEIs in infants born between 2018 and 2022.
- The findings showed a referral rate consistent with existing literature and a diagnosis rate of 1 in 9431 newborns, marking a successful implementation of a real-life NBS program aimed at improving early intervention for affected infants.
Background: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and life-threatening condition characterized by a severe impairment of the immune homeostasis. While Familial-HLH (FHL) is a known cause, the involvement of other Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) in pediatric-HLH remains understudied.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to assess the clinical features, triggers, laboratory data, treatment, and outcomes of pediatric HLH patients with IEI other than FHL (IEInotFHL), emphasizing the importance of accurate identification and management.
A large number of recent studies consider a compartmental SIR model to study optimal control policies aimed at containing the diffusion of COVID-19 while minimizing the economic costs of preventive measures. Such problems are non-convex and standard results need not to hold. We use a Dynamic Programming approach and prove some continuity properties of the value function of the associated optimization problem.
