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

Natural Hazards, 2018
This paper uses the “protect/accommodate/retreat/avoid” or “PARA” framework to categorize and examine flood disaster risk reduction approaches used to build climate change resilience in communities across Canada. We suggest that the PARA framework, first developed for climate change adaptation planning in communities facing sea level rise, is also a ...
