High-Resolution Computed Tomographic Scan of Patients With Sarcoidosis. A-D, innumerable sarcoid nodules studding the interlobar fissures and bronchovascular bundles and coalescing with the architectural distortion of the lobar airways. E-G, extensive focal consolidation and innumerable nodules tracking along the bronchovascular bundles, septal lines, and interlobar fissures predominantly in the upper lobe. These patterns are characteristic of sarcoidosis.

Principle of the RT-QuIC Technique.
Misfolding of the recombinant prion protein (rec PrP) after contact with PrPSc seeds (conversion) is followed by aggregation into larger structures, which then are fragmented by high-frequency shaking. New seeds provide the basis for further conversion of rec PrP in repeated cycles of incubation and shaking. The results are visualized by measuring the thioflavin T fluorescence that is emitted when the dye binds to aggregates of misfolded protein.

Mechanisms of Action of RNA Interference Therapeutics, CAMs, and NAPs.
RNAi therapeutics (small interfering RNA [siRNA] and antisense oligonucleotides [ASOs]) suppress HBsAg from both integrated HBV DNA and cccDNA, without a direct effect on cccDNA or integrated viral DNA (Panel A). These agents target S and X and thus target transcripts of the HBV genome and subgenomic integrants, which leads to simultaneous inhibition of multiple viral genes due to overlapping mRNA transcripts and knockdown of all viral proteins and pgRNA expressed from cccDNA. Dose-dependent declines in HBsAg are observed, proving that RNAi agents target a hitherto inaccessible source of HBsAg. Liver levels and delivery have been established with newer conjugates (GalNAc). The siRNA has a longer duration of action than ASOs and requires less frequent dosing. Current compounds have minimal off-target effects.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is used to treat severe pain. It is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl refers to fentanyl that is prescribed by doctors and can be given as a pill, lozenge, spray (in the nose or under the tongue), skin patch, or injection. Nonpharmaceutical fentanyl is manufactured illegally and is often combined as a powder or liquid with illicit drugs (such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin) or made into counterfeit prescription pills.
