Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) has important technical advantages for the measurement of bone mineral density, and the technique is well suited for both the diagnosis of osteoporosis and the monitoring of treatment. Its use deserves a wider application than at present. The use of QCT in both research and in the clinic has recently garnered increasing attention.

For applications such as hydrogen gas liquefaction, the development of magnetocaloric materials that perform well in moderate magnetic fields without using rare-earth elements is highly desirable. Here we present a thorough investigation of the structural and magnetocaloric properties of a novel layered organic-inorganic hybrid coordination polymer Co(OH)(SO)[enH] (enH = ethylenediammonium).

- Diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome are linked to body fat distribution, but traditional assessments mainly rely on external measurements and lab values like HbA1c.
- Recent advances in deep learning and AI allow for automated extraction of valuable data on organ size and body composition from standard CT scans.
- Significant changes in computed tomography biomarkers, such as increased visceral fat and altered organ volumes, correlate with higher HbA1c levels, indicating the potential for these methods to enhance understanding and treatment of metabolic conditions.
