Default Remove parenthesis that contain four digits or etal word vba

Hi everyone,
I have such text

However, antibiotics have been used to kill harmful bacteria but inappropriate use of these materials enabled bacterial species to increase resistance to them which results in the emergence of resistance towards bacteria (Mmola et al., 2016). Using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) could be a good alternative to antibiotics (Huh & Kwon, 2011;Ahluwalia et al., 2014; Allafchian et al., 2016; Bagherzade et al., 2017; Bar et al., 2009; Hsieh et al., 2007; Ibrahim, 2015).

I want to remove any parenthesis that contains four digits (year) or etal only because some parentheses are important and must be maintained such as (AgNPs) or may be just year (2010).

Thanks in advance
