Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified concerns regarding the adequacy of the peer review process. A subsequent post-publication review by a member of the editorial board highlighted significant limitations related to sample size and the absence of statistical analysis of the reported results. However, as the authors had acknowledged these limitations in the Discussion section, and given that the paper had been classified as a 'Short Communication' through the previous editorial and peer review process, the article will remain published. However, few language corrections have been incorporated. Readers are nonetheless advised to interpret and use the findings with due consideration of these comments. The Editorial Expression of Concern issued on 20 June 2025 has accordingly been withdrawn. The earlier published copy of this article is available on request at als.editor@als-journal.com.

Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified concerns regarding the adequacy of the peer review process, prompting an Editorial Expression of Concern on 20 June 2025. A subsequent detailed post-publication review identified significant ethical, methodological, and analytical shortcomings, including the retrospective analysis of clinical data from 422 pediatric patients without documented institutional ethical approval or informed consent, alongside multiple internal contradictions in reported findings. These concerns led to the initiation of a formal retraction process on 26 June 2025 in accordance with COPE guidelines and established publishing standards. However, following receipt of detailed justifications from the authors — including the provision of an institutional ethical approval statement and point-by-point responses addressing the methodological and analytical concerns — the Editorial Expression of Concern was rescinded on 23 July 2025. The article has additionally undergone minor corrections related to language and units. The earlier published copy of this article is available on request at als.editor@als-journal.com.

Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified a missing record of the Turnitin Originality / AI Reports. Upon reconciliation of the originality analysis, it was found that 56% of the article's content had been generated using AI tools without clear disclosure, alongside a similarity of more than 4% with at least one source published prior to this article. This prompted the initiation of a formal retraction process on 28 May 2025, during which the full text of the article was rendered unavailable for citation. Following receipt of the authors' explanation — clarifying that AI-based tools were used solely for language enhancement purposes such as grammar correction and improving readability, and not for generating scientific content or writing the main body of the article, and acknowledging that such use should have been explicitly disclosed at submission — the Editorial Expression of Concern was rescinded on 18 June 2025.

Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified concerns regarding the adequacy of the peer review process. A subsequent detailed post-publication assessment revealed critical ethical and methodological deficiencies, including the conduct of in vivo experimentation on 75 mice without any declaration of institutional ethical approval, alongside the absence of essential methodological details such as radiation dosage, equipment parameters, and quantitative analysis. These deficiencies render the findings scientifically unreliable. A formal retraction process was initiated on 26 June 2025, during which the full text of the article was rendered unavailable for citation, and a show-cause notice was issued to the relevant editorial team member for oversight in the peer-review process. The Editor-in-Chief, upon the recommendation of the Inquiry Team, formally retracted this article on 23 July 2025.

Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified concerns regarding the adequacy of the peer review process. A subsequent post-publication review by a member of the editorial board revealed significant limitations relating to the rationale of the methodology, p-value formatting, and language usage.

description: This retracts: Jasim RA, Noori SS, Mahmood AS, Abd Alkareem FZ. "Isolation of Toxoplasma gondii from Placental Tissue and its Effect on Malondialdehyde Levels in Pregnant Women in Al-Anbar Province of Iraq." Adv. Life Sci. 2023 Oct;10S(1):85–89. doi: 10.62940/als.v10i0.2077. Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified problems in the use of the English language. During the process of language improvement, further critical scientific deficiencies were uncovered, leading the Editor-in-Chief to retract this article on 24 September 2025. Specifically: (1) the paper's central conclusion concerns the effect of the parasite on Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, yet the quantitative data and tables supporting this conclusion are entirely absent, rendering the primary finding unsubstantiated and scientifically invalid; (2) the study describes two disconnected participant groups without explaining their relationship, and employs an incorrect statistical test — a paired t-test applied to independent groups — which invalidates all claims of statistical significance; and (3) the methodology reports an impossibly large and incorrect antibiotic dosage of "100 grams", bringing the validity of all other reported values into question. The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction, and have therefore neither confirmed nor disputed it.

Retraction: Effects of Vitamin D3 level on the gene expression of Immune checkpoint Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes antigen-4 in Iraqi patients with rheumatoid arthritis
type: item
description: This retracts: Mahmood AS, Kadhim AS, Issa YW. "Effects of Vitamin D3 level on the gene expression of Immune checkpoint Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes antigen-4 in Iraqi patients with rheumatoid arthritis." Adv. Life Sci. 2023 Oct;10S(1):90–94. doi: 10.62940/als.v10i0.2079. Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified suspected plagiarism. Upon initial investigation, the similarity detected (25%) was determined to be attributable to commonly used scientific terminology and phrases in funding/acknowledgement sections, and the Editorial Expression of Concern was accordingly revoked on 24 June 2025. However, upon further scrutiny, critical scientific deficiencies were identified, leading the Editor-in-Chief to retract this article on 24 September 2025. Specifically: (1) the paper marks key findings as statistically significant where the p-values provided in the very same tables exceed 0.05, constituting a direct misrepresentation of statistical results and a false scientific claim; (2) the manuscript contains pervasive internal contradictions that render the entire dataset unreliable — the total number of patients is stated as 100 in the text but consistently appears as 55 in the data, the number of male and female control subjects is reported with two completely different sets of figures, and three conflicting correlation coefficients are presented for the same primary relationship under investigation; and (3) the combination of these errors with a confusing study design, unprofessional typographical errors, and severe grammatical issues collectively demonstrate a lack of scholarly rigor. The authors do not agree to this retraction. The Advancements in Life Sciences Editorial Office regrets that these issues were not identified prior to publication.

Retraction: Correlation between Pentraxin 3 level and some biomarkers in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus Iraqi patients
type: item
description: This retracts: Hasan AM, Jasim HS, Jwaid SH. "Correlation between Pentraxin 3 level and some biomarkers in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus Iraqi patients." Adv. Life Sci. 2023;10(Special):1–6. doi: 10.62940/als.v10i0.1951. Retraction Note 24 September 2025: The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article due to the below mentioned scientific deficiencies revealed by an internal audit. The paper repeatedly and fundamentally misinterprets statistics by using an inverted definition of the p-value (e.g., stating P > 0.01 means "highly significant"). This error invalidates every single claim of statistical significance made in the paper and, consequently, all of the conclusions that are based on them. The inclusion of a completely irrelevant and nonsensical paragraph about premature infants in the results section is a gross error. This, along with a reference in the discussion to a biomarker that was never measured in the study, strongly suggests that the manuscript was carelessly assembled from multiple, unrelated sources. This calls the authenticity and integrity of the entire paper into serious question. The paper contains direct errors in its data reporting, such as using the numerical value for one biomarker while discussing another. The methodology states that consent was obtained from patients "orally." The standard and preferred method for clinical research involving sample collection is written informed consent, making the study's ethical procedure a potential point of weakness. The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
