The original version of this Article contained errors in the spelling of the authors Dina N. Abd-Elshafy, Thomas Pietschmann, Ulf Müller-Ladner, Elena Neumann, Mahmoud M. Bahgat, Frank Pessler and Patrick Behrendt which were incorrectly given as Abd-Elshafy D. Nadeem, Pietschmann Thomas, Müller-Ladner Ulf, Neumann Elena, Bahgat M. Mohamed, Pessler Frank & Behrendt Patrick respectively.

The ‘How to cite this article’ section quoted an incorrect abbreviation for Dina N. Abd-Elshafy.

In addition, there were errors in the Author Contributions Statement,

now reads:
