Hyperprolactinemia contributes to reproductive deficit in male rats chronically administered PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil and tadalafil) and opioid (tramadol)
Conclusion Serum prolactin concentration correlated negatively with male reproductive hormones and may play a major role in reproductive deficits associated with chronic use of PDE5 inhibitors and opioids. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Maternal and obstetric risk factors associated with preterm delivery at a referral hospital in northern-eastern Tanzania
Conclusions The risk factors for preterm delivery identified in this study are consistent with previous studies. Clinicians and other health care providers should routinely assess women at high risk of preterm delivery during prenatal care to prevent the occurrence of preterm delivery and associated adverse perinatal outcomes.

Minute changes to the culture environment of mouse pre-implantation embryos affect  the health of the conceptus
Conclusions Exposing mouse pre-implantation embryos to ambient air at 37.0 °C, even for brief periods for routine micromanipulations is detrimental to normal embryonic development. Our results highlight the importance of how small alterations in the culture environment can have major consequences for the health of the embryo. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)
