Article Synopsis
- * This study compared two filtration technologies: a smaller pressurized media filtration (PMF) plant and a larger dissolved air flotation filtration (DAFF) system, assessing their efficiency in removing protozoa and viruses using model organisms.
- * The DAFF process was more effective in reducing bacteriophage levels than PMF, while both systems had comparable effectiveness for yeast; the study also examined trade-offs in energy usage and chemical consumption, providing insights for designing effective recycled water systems.
Introduction: Although short-term benefits follow parenteral ketamine for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (TR-MDD), there are challenges that prevent routine use of ketamine by clinicians. These include acute dissociative effects of parenteral ketamine, high relapse rates following ketamine dosing and the uncertain role of psychotherapy.
