Evolution of retracted publications in the medical sciences: Citations analysis, bibliometrics, and altmetrics trends.

We investigated reasons for retraction, pre-and post-retraction citations and Altmetrics indicators of retracted publications in the medical sciences from 2016 to 2020. Data were retrieved from Scopus ( = 840). The Retraction Watch database was used to identify the reasons for retraction and the time that elapsed from publication to retraction.

Molecular evidence of upper and lower respiratory infection due to in a post-kidney transplantation patient.

We recommend that lophomoniasis should be essentially ruled out in all patients suffering from post-transplantation infection, particularly in those who do not respond to routine antibiotic regimens.
