Abstract:
Rezk, M., Elshamy, E., Shaheen, A.-E., Shawky, M. and Marawan, H. (2019). Effects of a levonorgestrel intrauterine system versus a copper intrauterine device on menstrual changes and uterine artery Doppler. Int J Gynecol Obstet, 145: 18-22. https://doi.org/10.1002/ijgo.12778. The above article, published online on 1 February 2019 on Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Professor Michael Geary, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The journal's Editor-in-Chief was contacted by a third party who raised concerns regarding the authenticity of the data presented within the article. The authors were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation and could not provide the original data. Following review by the journal's research integrity team, it was found that the data were unlikely to be genuine. As such, the conclusions can no longer be relied upon and the journal is issuing this retraction.

Somatic Spinal Reflexes
One of the most well-known somatic spinal reflexes is the stretch reflex, which is activated by the sudden stretching of a muscle. This reflex involves the activation of specialized sensory receptors called muscle spindles, which are located in the muscle tissue and detect changes in the length and speed of muscle contractions. When a muscle is suddenly...

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....
