This application is related to U.S. Application Serial No. (Attorney Dkt. No. 0 11955-00013/5203), filed June 16, 2009, entitled "CONTROLLED RELEASE COMPOSITIONS OF AGENTS THAT REDUCE CIRCULATING LEVELS OF PLATELETS AND METHODS THEREFOR," which also claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial Nos. 61/124,277 and 61/124,330 and to United Kingdom Patent Application Serial No 09 05567.4. Where permitted, the subject matter of each of the above-referenced applications is incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION Compositions and methods for reducing circulating platelet number in a subject and for the treatment and/or prevention of platelet-related conditions, diseases and/or disorders or other diseases and disorders are provided. BACKGROUND Conditions resulting from thrombotic or thromboembolic events are leading causes of illness and death in adults in western civilization. Platelets play a role in the etiology of several thrombotic and other vaso-occlusive disorders. A great deal of effort and monetary resources have been directed towards understanding the mechanisms involved in vascular occlusive diseases involving thrombotic or thromboembolic events. These efforts have yielded a number therapeutic agents. Notwithstanding the effort and financial resources that have been invested, these conditions still account for the vast majority of illness and death in the adult populations of developed nations. Thus, a need exists for compositions and methods for treatment and/or prevention of platelet related conditions or disorders, including hematological proliferative disorders, myeloproliferative disorders and thrombotic and other vaso-occlusive disorders. Accordingly, among the objects herein, it is an object to provide compositions and methods for treatment and/or prevention of platelet related conditions or disorders, including hematological proliferative disorders, myeloproliferative disorders and thrombotic and other vaso-occlusive disorders. SUMMARY Provided herein are compositions and prophylactic and therapeutic methods for reducing circulating platelet number in a subject and for the treatment and/or prevention of platelet-related conditions, diseases and/or disorders or other diseases and disorders. Provided herein is a composition that includes a solid support core of a substantially water soluble, swellable or insoluble material; an optional preparatory coat, where the preparatory coat is from 0-5% by weight of the composition; a substrate layer that includes a binder and 50 µg to 10 mg of microparticles of a platelet number reducing agent, where the platelet-reducing agent is present in a form that has a shelf stability of at least three months, the binder is present at a weight of 0.1-5% by weight of the composition and at least 90% of the microparticles are 25 microns or less; a release control component effective for controlled release of the platelet number reducing agent, where the release control component is present at a weight of 0-10 % by weight of the composition; and an optional finishing coat and/or enteric coating, where the finishing coat and/or enteric coating is present at a weight of 0-10 % by weight of the composition. In some embodiments, the composition further includes a seal coat layer including a substantially water-soluble polymer on the substrate layer, where the seal coat is disposed between the substrate layer and the release control component and the seal coat reduces chemical interaction between the platelet reducing agent and the release control component and/or the platelet reducing agent and the optional finishing coat. In some embodiments, the seal coat, when present, is present at a weight of 0.1-10 % by weight of the composition, particularly at a weight of 1-5% by weight of the composition. Also provided are compositions that include (i) a solid support core of a substantially water soluble, swellable or insoluble material; (ii) an optional preparatory coat, where the preparatory coat is from 0-5% by weight of the composition; (iii) a substrate layer including a binder and 50 µg to 10 mg of microparticles of a platelet number reducing agent, where (a) the binder is present at a weight of 0.1-5% by weight of the composition, (b) at least 90% of the microparticles are 25 microns or less and (c) the platelet-reducing agent is in form that has a shelf stability of at least 3 months; (iv) a release control component effective for controlled release of the platelet number reducing agent, where the release control component is present at a weight of 0-10 % by weight of the composition; (v) a seal coat layer that includes a substantially water-soluble polymer, where the seal coat is present at a weight of 0-10 % by weight of the composition; and (vi) an optional finishing coat and/or enteric coating, where the finishing coat and/or enteric coating is present at a weight of 0-10 % by weight of the composition; where the seal coat is disposed between the substrate layer and the release control component and the seal coat reduces chemical interaction between the platelet reducing agent and the release control component and/or the platelet reducing agent and the optional finishing coat. The substrate layer can include from 10 ng to 10,000 µg of microparticles of a platelet number reducing agent. The amount of microparticles in the substrate layer can vary depending on the platelet reducing agent and can be present in an amount of between 50 µg to 5000 µg of microparticles, or 150 µg to 500 µg of microparticles or 200 µg to 400 µg of microparticles of a platelet number reducing agent.

Direct thrombin inhibitors are theoretically likely to be more effective than indirect thrombin inhibitors, such as unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin, because the heparins block only circulating thrombin, whereas direct thrombin inhibitors block both circulating and clot-bound thrombin. Several initial phase 3 trials did not demonstrate a convincing benefit of direct thrombin inhibitors over unfractionated heparin. However, the Direct Thrombin Inhibitor Trialists’ Collaboration meta-analysis confirms the superiority of direct thrombin inhibitors, particularly hirudin and bivalirudin, over unfractionated heparin for the prevention of death or myocardial infarction (MI) during treatment in patients with ACS, primarily due to a reduction in MI (odds ratio, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.70 to 0.91) with little impact on death. The absolute risk reduction in the composite of death or MI at the end of treatment (0.8%) was similar at 30 days (0.7%), indicating no loss of benefit after cessation of therapy.

About 2/3 of trial participants were obese. Lower plasma CETP activity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in human studies, and protective aspects of CETP have been observed in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with regard to metabolic outcomes. To define if CETP inhibition has different effects depending on the presence of obesity, we performed short- term anacetrapib treatment in chow- and HFD-fed CETP-transgenic mice.
