Nov 30 2023 - Title changed as misleading "Alcohol consumption may have counteractive effects on heart disease risk" to "Study suggests a complex metabolic basis between alcohol consumption and CVD". The original headline "Alcohol consumption may have counteractive effects on heart disease risk, study finds" does not accurately reflect the findings of the study. The research primarily identified 60 metabolites associated with long-term alcohol consumption and their complex relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD). It didn't conclude that alcohol consumption has counteractive effects on heart disease risk but rather showed a complex metabolic basis between alcohol consumption and CVD.

Nov 16 2023 - To address the concerns raised by the research team, the following changes should be made to the news article "Study highlights risks of high-dose naloxone in opioid overdose response": Correction of Administration Route: Replace all instances where 'intravenous naloxone' is mentioned with 'intranasal naloxone'. This error appears in the first paragraph, twice in the results section, and in the conclusion. Clarification of Naloxone Dosage: In the introduction and background, the term 'low-dose naloxone' should be corrected to 'standard dose naloxone'. The study compares standard dose naloxone with high-dose naloxone, and the current wording inaccurately suggests a focus on low-dose naloxone. Accurate Representation of the Research Team: Amend the 'About the study' section to reflect that the two members from Tennessee Harm Reduction were key members of the research team, not merely consultants. Correcting Efficacy Information: Remove or correct the statement claiming intranasal naloxone is less effective, as this does not align with the findings of the study. These revisions will ensure the article aligns accurately with the original research. The research team has offered their assistance for any further clarification required.

Oct 19 2023 - The article titled "Reusing masks may increase your risk of coronavirus infection, expert says" was retracted for the following reasons: Misinformation: The article claimed that wearing masks can increase the risk of contracting the virus. This goes against the current consensus and guidance provided by health organizations around the world, which suggest that masks can provide a level of protection, especially in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Contradictory Statements: The article quotes Dr. Jenny Harries saying that the virus can get trapped in the material of the mask and cause infection when breathed in. However, later in the article, it mentions that masks prevent infections transmitted by respiratory droplets when used properly. These contradictory statements can confuse readers and spread misinformation. Outdated Information: The data regarding the global toll of the virus is outdated, which can mislead readers about the current status of the pandemic. Generalization: The article's tone suggests that the general public should avoid using masks altogether, which is a misleading generalization. The correct guidance is that certain types of masks should be reserved for healthcare workers, and the general public can use cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus. Lack of Comprehensive Guidance: The article focused heavily on the potential negatives of mask usage without emphasizing the importance of proper mask usage, maintenance, and hygiene. Potential for Public Panic: By suggesting that wearing masks can increase the risk of contracting the virus, the article could induce panic and fear among readers, leading to further confusion and misinformed actions.
