Why are the lines affil_text = re.sub('2 ', ' ', affil_text) affil_text = re.sub('2. ', ' ', affil_text) present ?

They create incorrect zip code results with an afiiliation string such as 'Department of Audiology, Speech-Language Pathology & Deaf Studies, Towson University, Towson, MD 21252, USA. ' as the zipcode is incorrectly modified
