The interplay of physician awareness and reporting of incidentally found coronary artery calcium on the clinical management of patients who underwent noncontrast chest computed tomography.

Studies have shown that coronary artery calcium (CAC) incidentally identified on a noncontrast chest computed tomography (NCCT) performed for noncardiac indications has diagnostic and prognostic value. The frequency by which radiologists report incidental CAC and its impact on patient management are unknown. This study included 204 consecutive patients (63 ± 17 years, 59% men) without a history of coronary artery disease referred for an NCCT for noncardiac indications.

List of lists-annotated (LOLA): a database for annotation and comparison of published microarray gene lists.

Microarray profiling of RNA expression is a powerful tool that generates large lists of transcripts that are potentially relevant to a disease or treatment. However, because the lists of changed transcripts are embedded in figures and tables, they are typically inaccessible for search engines. Due to differences in gene nomenclatures, the lists are difficult to compare between studies.
