Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness of a machine learning software in classifying plaque risk phenotypes on cardiovascular CT angiography (CTA) compared to expert pathologists, using histological definitions as the benchmark.
- Researchers collected atherosclerotic plaque samples and categorized them based on specific tissue characteristics at two medical centers, aiming to improve accuracy in identifying plaque types.
- The results showed that the machine learning model achieved high accuracy in identifying plaque risk types, with excellent agreement with histological assessments, while the correlation between plaque type and diameter stenosis was weak.
Considering the severe impacts of compound dry and hot extremes, we examine the primary drivers of CDHEs during the summer monsoon in India. Using ERA5 reanalysis, we show that most of the CDHEs in India occur during the droughts caused by the summer monsoon rainfall deficit. Despite a decline in the frequency of summer monsoon droughts in recent decades, increased CDHEs are mainly driven by warming and dry spells during the summer monsoon particularly in the Northeast, central northeast, and west central regions.
