it's making people sick and at least nine states seen as jacqueline howard has more details on this jacqueline, some people have even been hospitalized over this that's right, kate and the cdc and fda are really raising alarm because they say they've identified at least 19 women who've had harmful reactions to counterfeit versions of botox. >> and like you said, kate, these counterfeit versions of botox. so far have been found in at least nine different states. and the way the fda is identifying these fake versions of botox is on the packaging itself. they've noticed some things that seem off. like for instance, some counterfeit versions say on the packaging that the product contains 150 units well, we know that the company allergan that makes the real version of botox doesn't have 150 unit box. so you can tell that it's counterfeit when you see that 150 unit number, like you see a vial there says 150 units again, kate, that's not a real thing. so this is something that the fda and cdc one consumers and providers to know that these fake versions are on the market and they're investigating this

cancer before reaches an advanced stage, which makes it one of the deadliest cancers seen as jacqueline howard is here to explain what's going on jacqueline. >> well, john, we know that there are several scientists around the world working to develop blood tests to detect early cases of pancreatic cancer. and one group in particular, they're from the city of hope comprehensive cancer center, justness week. they announced that their blood test was able to identify now, if key biomarkers associated with pancreatic cancer, as well as a key protein. and this approach showed that their test was 97% accurate in detecting stage one and stage two pancreatic cancers. and their study now, this is early research. it hasn't been published peer-reviewed journal, but they say that this shows promise that we are getting closer to developing a blood test for early cases of pancreatic cancer and having a test like this, john would change the landscape for patients out there because we know that pancreatic cancer, it's incredibly deadly. it only makes up about 3% of all new cancer cases that are diagnosed. >> b

cnn health reporter jacqueline howard is following all of this for us and jacqueline tell us what's behind this surge in cases well, briana, two things are happening. one, we know that some cases are travel-related, so the person acquired the measles virus outside of the us and then traveled here. but two and what's very concerning is many of these cases are tied to low vaccination rates here in the, we know that some of these outbreaks are occurring and pockets of communities where we're seeing low vaccination rates and we have a very effective vaccine against the measles virus. the measles mumps and rubella vaccine. so as we look at the numbers so far this year, as you said, there are 97 total cases that have been reported across 17 in states and new york city here in the 97 is more than all of the cases we saw last year in 2023, there were 50 cases total for the country. today is april 1st, brianna and we're already at 97. so this is something health officials are watching closely, measles is so contagious joseph, an infected person coughs or sneezes. it can linger in the air for up to

in flavors like citrus, cinnamon, and coffee, and they look an awful lot like candy, seen as jacqueline howard is with us now, what are the concerns here, jacqueline? >> well, john, one major concern we still don't have much research or data on these nicotine pouches. so there is a debate here on one hand, these pouches are marketed for adults ages 21 and older who have a history of using nicotine. so some users use them to help you quit smoking but on the other hand, like you said, they're packaged to kind of look like candy and there's concerns about making them accessible to children. and at a young age, if a teenager starts using nicotine pouches, they can develop a nicotine addiction. so what we know about nicotine pouches, they are tobacco-free and the way that that you use them, they are put between the cheek and the gum and you kind of hold them in your mouth and you do it does provide nicotine, so you do get doses of nicotine and they're easily hidden in the mouth when they're used. but that nicotine that it provides, that's a concern among health experts. we know know that nicotine i

been reported across 17 states, more than half of those have ended in hospitalizations cnn's jacqueline howard is with us now. or three months in one day into the year and we've already surpassed all the measles cases from last year. what's happening here? >> that's right john. and we see two things happening here. one, we know that some of these cases are travel-related, so someone acquired the measles virus outside of the us and then traveled here. but what's really conrning number two, we know that many of these outbreaks are happening and pockets of communities where there are low vaccination nation rates and these low vaccination rates are driving these cases. as you mentioned, john, we know that at least so far is 17 states and new york city have reported a total of 97 cases. those 97 are way higher than all of last year in all of 2023, a total of 58 measles cases were ported. the reason why this is concerning measles is so contagious if someone coughs or sneezes the virus can linger in the air for up to two hours. so this is what we're dealing with, but we do have a tool against this. t

cnn's jacqueline howard has more on this story what are you learning about this new rule that has been put in place? and what it means to patients and providers yes. >> era because, you know, under hipaa are medical information has always been protected, but what this new rule does, it strengthens those protections for patients, especially those receiving reproductive health care services. so whether a patient had a pregnancy test whether they're undergoing ivf this new role maintains that their medical data cannot be used to target them or track them, or target or track their family, or target, or track their provider. and one way federal health officials are putting this sarah, you see here it says it prohibits health care providers from being targeted with that medical data. and it also ensures that no one should live in fear that their medical records can be used against them. here's what health and human services secretary javier becerra had to say please make no mistake. >> you when you access care, when you go see a doctor, when you enter a hospital, when you see a medical profe

situation that health officials are watching play out serious. >> and as we said, fermentable jacqueline howard, thanks so much for being here. i appreciate it. >> all right. so just what major league baseball needed see pants? yes, that is just one of these string of complaints about this season's new uniforms. other combat, other complaints include that the uniforms are collecting too much sweat. now, major league baseball is agreeing to make some changes to the new gear from nike. why the league sent out a memo yesterday about of the changes that are planned and are also promising to make the lettering on the back of the uniforms bigger. the mlb players association blames the issues solely on nike's new design, saying in a statement and memo that at its core what has happened here is that nike was innovating something that didn't need to be innovated so zebra multiple on the lam, officials are still looking for one zebra that escaped to trailer in north bend, washington on sunday after this the rows we're seeing making their way down a busy highway will show you at some point, the washington

let's get right to cnn's jacqueline howard for the details on this is there any sense of exactly what is causing this increase? and it's on the rise, it's already bad for 40% of the people that's right, sarah, and we know that wildfires, drought, extreme heat. those are all factors driving this increase, and those are also factors associated with climate change. now, i will say, since the clean air act in 1970, as a nation, we've seen about 78% drop an emissions from air pollutants. but even with that improvement, there are still more than 100 million people in this country breathing unhealthy air. and that's really what this new report sheds light on, sarah. so according to this report, about 39% of people well, in the us live in places with unhealthy levels of air pollution. and that's an increase from last year when it was estimated about a quarter of us live in places with unhealthy levels of air pollution and ozone. it's a big component of smog that's also a major contributor to this air pollution. the top five cities with the most ozone pollution are all concentrated in the west

so this is an ongoing situation jacqueline howard. thank you to see you are you sort of two in for one of the most unforgettable nights in washington, the white house correspondents dinner president biden and comedian collin joseph headline the big event join cnn tonight for our special live coverage of a dinner hosted by sara sidner and john berman that's tonight at seven p.m. eastern right here on cnn also streaming on macs coverage of the white house correspondents dinner is brought to you by vip guard and vid guard high, true low i've struggled with generalized myasthenia gravis but the pitches started changing when i started on vif guard this guard has for adult generalized myasthenia gravis or anti echr antibody positive in a clinical trial, vif guard significantly improve most participant's ability to do daily activities when added to their current jian g treatment those participants taking viv guard also had less muscle weakness and your vanguard treatment schedule is designed just for you. in a clinical study, the most common

seen as jacqueline howard has more on the details of all of this for us are going to tell us what more tell us more about these findings? >> well, kate, these are eye opening findings. what this study found is that suicide was the cause of about 8% of deaths that were recorded among ncw a athletes in the years 2000 to to 2012. but it jumped to being the cause of 15% of deaths that's in that following decades. so to break this down in that first decade from 2002 to 2012, we saw the top leading causes of death among ncb play athletes were accidents, cardiac related deaths, and then suicide in that following decade from 2012 to 2022, as you see on this screen suicide became the second leading cause of death, followed by accidents. so these findings really show according to the researchers, they say we need to do more to really implement suicide prevention efforts for student athletes. and this study also found that specifically male cross-country athletes had the highest rates of suicide in this study. so it's really a call for at, not just the collegiate level, but for all student athlet

2.3% higher than states where abortion was not restricted in the first half of 2023 cnn's jacqueline and howardin for the numbers coming out of the cdc. jacqueline, let's talk about the overall birth rate, fertility rate, and birth rate that we're getting from this new report from the cdc. what does the cdc say about what's behind the country's drop? >> yeah okay, well we know that the nation's fertility rate has been declining for some time. so the cdc is really showing us that this trend is on going. what these new numbers out, this morning show is that last year, there were more than 3.5 million babies born here in the united states. the fertility rate last year the general rate showed that for every 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44, there were about 54 babies born. that rate is three is a 3% drop from the rate that we saw in the previous year and and that rate it is below what's called replacement. now what replacement means is that the number of babies born is enough to replace the current generation. we are below replacement. that's generally estimated to be about 2000 births per

that could soon change because of these recent spikes in cas across the entire country, cnn's jacqueline howard is join now, jacqueline, what is ing on? >> sar, that is the big question here.o far this yearwe've seen more than 10 measles cases rerted across the country. this is in 17 differenstates and new yk city. and as you said, in the year 2000, we eliminated the measles rus he in the, that was a huge public health chi menn, we were ableo do that because of high vaccination coverage. but cently, we've seeclines in vaccinations, many outbreaks are occurring and pockets of communities with low vaation rates and just this week, health officials warned we neo do more to make sure people are getting vaccinated to rapidly investate new cases. because sarah, according to thcdc, it for measles tbreak ctinues for a year or more we coul lose our eliminaon stas. anthat's what'concerning here. we're onlin the month of april for this year and we already have 113 cases in the united states. that's way re more than what we saw in all of last year when there were 58 total cases for 2023 another thing that

exams, the new guidance was just issued by the department of health and human services and cnn's jacqueline howard has much more on this in jacqueline, hospitals have long needed consent from patients for exam. so what is driving the new guidelines that's right, kate, these new >> guidelines really reiterate that getting that consent is required. and the reason why hhs officials just sent a letter to teaching hospitals and medical schools with this new guidance is because recently some media reports have surfaced that have revealed that in some cases patients have been subjected to these sensitive, intimate exams while they were under anesthesia without their consent and without any prior discussions about the exams being performed. and in some cases, these exams were performed for teaching purposes two demonstrate to medical students how to conduct an exam, but in a letter to teaching hospitals and medical schools, the us department of health and human services wrote, quote, informed consent is the law and essential to maintaining trust in the patient-provider relationship and respecting patient'

as the threat and concern seen as jacqueline howard has the details from this new report out this morningjaclyn, what are you learning >> when we know that there are two key drivers behind this? one, just as a society, we're aging and two, as a society, we're growing. and this report shows that in the year 2022, there were about eight billion people around the world. that number is projected to rise to 9.7 billion by 2050. so as we have more people in the world and more older people, because we're aging, we can expect to see more cancer. this report found that lung cancer was really the leading it cause of cancer death in 2022, and it causes the most cases as well. but when you look at data by country and by men versus women, you see interesting trends like on this map here, here's the cancer incidence among men around the world. you see prostate cancer in green is very prevalent. there's also lung cancer and blue flu, which we see a lot in european and asian countries. and then when you look at cancer incidence among women around the world, breast cancer is the most prevalent. you see br

let's bring in cnn's jacqueline howard. this seems kind of obvious, but clearly there's a reason why they're doing this with new guidance. what prompted this? >> that's right. briana, the reason is we know that recently some media reports have surfaced that have detailed some cases where patients were subjected to these kinds of intimate exams without their consent. and in some cases, patients were under anesthesia. they did not previously discussed the he's exams with their medical care team, but the reason why some of these exams were performed were for teaching purposes. some of the cases involved a medical students or medical trainees watching an exam demonstration, but in a letter to teaching hospitals and to medical schools, hhs officials those wrote that informed consent is the law and essential to maintaining trust in the patient-provider relationship and respecting patients autonomy. so moving forward, hhs is really cracking down here, briana, with saying that you need that written consent from a patient before for
