Importance: Efforts to understand the complex association between social media use and mental health have focused on depression, with little investigation of other forms of negative affect, such as irritability and anxiety.
Objective: To characterize the association between self-reported use of individual social media platforms and irritability among US adults.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This survey study analyzed data from 2 waves of the COVID States Project, a nonprobability web-based survey conducted between November 2, 2023, and January 8, 2024, and applied multiple linear regression models to estimate associations with irritability.
Fertilizing maize at an optimum nitrogen rate is imperative to maximize productivity and sustainability. Using a combination of long-term (n = 379) and short-term (n = 176) experiments, we show that the economic optimum nitrogen rate for US maize production has increased by 2.7 kg N ha yr from 1991 to 2021 (1.

We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of hydronephrosis to screen for low kidney function defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study using data from 2 cohorts of children and youth with myelomeningocele.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of people who inject drugs (PWID) using a collaborative data-sharing model established in 2021, which pooled data from multiple studies across North America.
- - Researchers analyzed data on various health indicators (like substance use treatment and mental health conditions) over four different time periods: pre-pandemic, early-pandemic, mid-pandemic, and late-pandemic, involving 6,213 PWID participants.
- - The results showed minimal changes in health indicators throughout the pandemic, suggesting stability possibly due to policy adjustments and resilience in support services for PWID, highlighting the potential of the data-sharing model for better health insights.
