Therapeutic Options to Reduce Lp-PLA2 Levels and the Potential Impact on Vascular Risk Reduction
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to pro-inflammatory mediators. Lp-PLA2 is highly expressed in the necrotic core of atherosclerotic plaques and has been associated with atherosclerotic plaque instability. Multiple studies have shown an association between elevated

Risk reduction in maize production using weather put option
2013The aim of this paper is to provide the basic theoretical assumptions about the weather derivatives and to quantify the risk reducing effect of rainfall put-options by applying a stochastic simulation. For this simulation we analyzed the yield data obtained from the maize producing farm located in the central part of Srem (Serbia).
