Photoshopped Spectra on 10.1016/j.dwt.2024.100588

Recently, the 5GH team found abnormal parts in the XRD patterns on paper [1], as shown below. It is not clear that these abnormalities were resulted from manipulation or publication processing, such as compressing the images during the manuscript preparation.

The article provides the information about the hospitalization costs for elderly (over 65 years old) trauma patients in Baotou, between January 2017 and March 2022. These data is of great interest not only to the scientific community but also to the policy markers, who are leading the reform of the health system. However, the communities may be better informed if the authors could further address the following issues
