The Salton Sea (SS), California's largest inland lake at 816 square kilometers, formed in 1905 from a levee breach in an area historically characterized by natural wet-dry cycles as Lake Cahuilla. Despite more than a century of untreated agricultural drainage inputs, there has not been a systematic assessment of nutrient loading, cycling, and associated ecological impacts at this iconic waterbody. The lake is now experiencing unprecedented degradation, particularly following the 2003 Quantification Settlement Agreement-the largest agricultural-to-urban water transfer in the United States.

- A randomized trial was conducted at 34 US hospitals to assess the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine for treating hospitalized adults with COVID-19, enrolling 479 patients from April to June 2020 and stopping early due to futility.
- Participants were divided into two groups, receiving either hydroxychloroquine or a placebo, with primary outcomes measured 14 days post-randomization using a 7-category scale.
- Results showed that despite a diverse patient sample, hydroxychloroquine did not demonstrate improved clinical outcomes compared to the placebo, leading to a conclusion of its ineffectiveness for this patient population.
