HHsenser is the first server to offer exhaustive intermediate profile searches, which it combines with pairwise comparison of hidden Markov models. Starting from a single protein sequence or a multiple alignment, it can iteratively explore whole superfamilies, producing few or no false positives. The output is a multiple alignment of all detected homologs. HHsenser's sensitivity should make it a useful tool for evolutionary studies. It may also aid applications that rely on diverse multiple sequence alignments as input, such as homology-based structure and function prediction, or the determination of functional residues by conservation scoring and functional subtyping.HHsenser can be accessed at http://hhsenser.tuebingen.mpg.de/. It has also been integrated into our structure and function prediction server HHpred (http://hhpred.tuebingen.mpg.de/) to improve predictions for near-singleton sequences.

Background: Academic accreditation is a pivotal process in nursing education, ensuring program quality, consistency, and graduate readiness for professional practice. Despite its significance, limited research explores the lived experiences and perspectives of stakeholders, including academic nurse educators, administrators, students, and alumni-engaged in accreditation.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences, perceptions, and insights of nursing education stakeholders regarding the accreditation process, focusing on its impact on educational quality, program reputation, and professional preparation.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is recognized as a common clinical conditional pathogen with bla gene-mediated multidrug-resistance that is a significant threat to public health safety. Timely and effective infection control measures are needed to prevent their spread.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of CRAB patients at three teaching hospitals from 2019 to 2022.

Background: Neurophysiological investigations are infrequently utilized in the diagnostic workup of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Objective: To determine the potential contributions of neurophysiological assessments in the diagnostic process of LUTS and their integration into systemic neurological and psychosomatic disorders.
Materials And Methods: This study elucidates the role of neurophysiological tests specific to pelvic floor diagnostics, namely pudendal nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEP) and external anal sphincter electromyography (EMG), through the presentation of two clinical case reports.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to use observational methods to evaluate reliability of evidence generated by a study of the effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) on chronic lower respiratory disease (CLRD) outcomes among Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
Research Design And Methods: We independently reproduced a study comparing effects of GLP-1RA versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4-i) on CLRD outcomes among patients with T2DM and prior CLRD. We reproduced inputs and outputs using the original study data (national administrative claims) and evaluated the robustness of results in comparison to alternate design/analysis decisions.

Tripterifordin and neotripterifordin are important ent-kaurane diterpenoids in the Chinese medicinal herb Tripterygium wilfordii, possessing significant anti-HIV(human immunodeficiency virus) activity. On the basis of elucidating the natural biosynthetic pathways of these compounds, heterologous production with microbial cell factories can help to alleviate the reliance on plant resources and provide abundant raw materials for sustainable production. TwKO is the first CYP450 enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of tripterifordin and neotripterifordin.
