Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. An investigation by the Publisher has found a number of articles, including this one, which share similar concerns, involving but not limited to, irregularities with respect to submission and authorship. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions presented in this article. Mohammad Hosseini Hooshiar does not agree to this retraction. Manal Morad Karim and Saman Yasamineh did not state explicitly whether they agree to this retraction. Khursheed Muzammil, Shirin Varmazyar, Thabit Moath Omar, Sadeq Aadi and Shaylan Kalavi did not respond to correspondence from the Editor about this retraction. © The Author(s) 2024.
