The above article, published in National Journal of Medical Research, has been retracted due to a potential authorship or submission error. It was brought to our attention that the names, affiliations, and contact details of all three listed authors were used without their knowledge, permission, or involvement. All the listed authors have declared that they were not involved in the study, and that their identities and affiliations were used without their knowledge/consent.
