Integration of capacitive deionization and forward osmosis for high water recovery and ultrapure water production: concept, modelling and performance analysis.

Forward Osmosis (FO), a membrane desalination technology and Capacitive Deionization (CDI), an electrically operated desalination technology, are numerically integrated utilizing four different configurations for the high-water recovery rate and ultrapure water production from brackish water resource. To minimize the wastewater rejection, the CDI desorption stream is continuously fed to the FO unit, efficiently recovering the remaining freshwater. To produce ultrapure water, freshwater stream obtained from FO is provided to the CDI cell, which adsorbs the remaining dissolved solute particles.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Comorbid With Mediastinal Small Cell Carcinoma: A Clinical Dilemma.

We present an interesting case of mediastinal small cell carcinoma (MSCC), an exceedingly rare entity, comorbid with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
