Summary: There is evidence linking exposure to toxic environmental agents with adverse reproductive and developmental health outcomes, including infertility, miscarriage, preterm birth, low birth weight, neurodevelopmental delay, and cancer. Obstetric care clinicians should be knowledgeable about local toxic environmental exposures and provide information to patients. Clinical encounters offer opportunities to screen and counsel patients on reducing toxic environmental exposures.

Summary: The neonatal risks of late-preterm and early-term births have been well studied, but there are circumstances where early delivery may be needed due to maternal, fetal, or placental complications. The decision to deliver earlier than 39 weeks should take into account balancing risks and benefits for both the mother and newborn.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the role of variants/mutations in the testis-specific hTAF7L gene in non-obstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia male infertility. The study found that the hTAF7L gene is highly polymorphic and the identified variants are not directly associated with male infertility.

Summary: Research ethics committees (RECs) have the responsibility to assess the justification of proposed research. This study found that RECs perceived a link between the type of research methodology and the level of risk to participants. Based on this finding, a hierarchy of risk was constructed to guide RECs in reviewing research protocols, and a guidance sheet was developed to aid their decision-making process.

Summary: This study found the presence of Flavivirus antigens and RNA in sperm cells of symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects within 28 days during the ZIKV epidemic, indicating potential transmission from asymptomatic males to pregnant women with consequences to the fetus. The results have important implications for public health, highlighting the possibility of nonarthropod-born, silent transmission facilitated by sperm cells.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, a positive correlation between cycling and erectile dysfunction was found, especially when adjusting for age and comorbidities. Further investigation into specific populations of cyclists who may be more vulnerable to erectile dysfunction is warranted.
