States including California outlawed cadmium in children’s jewelry, and testing by the center found the chemical had virtually disappeared from jewelry by 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No laws address cadmium in adult jewelry, however, and last year the center decided to check those products. Lab testing found 31 adult jewelry items purchased from retail stores were at least 40 percent cadmium, and most were more than 90 percent, according to results shared exclusively with the AP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s law allows no more than 0.03 percent cadmium in children’s jewelry.

The extent to which contaminated jewelry is in stores elsewhere isn’t clear, though a national retailer would not typically limit a product to just one region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center said the problem should not be underestimated because of the limited market sampling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re the person that buys and is wearing that jewelry, you don’t really care whether it’s a common problem or a rare problem,” said Caroline Cox, senior scientist at the center. “You have a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brent Cleaveland, executive director of the Fashion Jewelry and Accessories Trade Association, said he does not believe the test results suggest a larger problem.

By 2014, just a third of U.S. girls — 37 percent — and 13 percent of American boys had completed the vaccination course. By 2016, nearly half of U.S. girls were vaccinated.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Still, half of U.S. states have not implemented policies to promote the vaccine, which scientific research shows can effectively \u003ca style=\"color: #000000\" href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/diseases/teen/hpv.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prevent cancers caused by HPV infection\u003c/a>, according to the CDC.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">These findings are not new, despite persistent attitudes that the HPV vaccine could encourage sexual promiscuity.

This is partly because so few people have heard of HPV, and because “adolescents think in the here and now, not 40 years from now.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“We as a society need to decide how much we want to prevent cervical cancer for the children of today,” Freed said. “That’s really what this is all about.

Or it may be a pattern of injuries that don't make sense. Sometimes people are reluctant to explain their injury, or they come in with someone who seems overbearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having a high index of suspicion is the first step,\" she says. \"If we're not asking about it, we're just not going to see it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in October, health care providers can also start \u003ca href=\"https://www.aha.org/system/files/2018-07/icd-10-code-human-trafficking_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using new diagnosis codes\u003c/a> in their records to differentiate trafficking from other types of abuse.

No health care or law enforcement professional connected her to social services that could have helped her understand otherwise.

Her job was to get patrons drinks and to dance with them, but many workers in those jobs are expected to offer sex, too. Her boyfriend didn't want her to work there, and that led to the fight, one doctor recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the intake process, the emergency staff asked the 36-year-old woman a series of questions about whether she'd ever had sex for money, or whether she had to give someone else part of what she earns, among other things. The screening questions were part of a new program at Northwell Health, a 23-hospital system in the New York metro area that includes Huntington Hospital, to train staff and provide them with \u003ca href=\"https://www.northwell.edu/about/news/press-releases/training-staff-identify-help-human-trafficking-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tools to identify and support victims of human trafficking\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are few hard figures for how many people are harmed by human trafficking, the term used when individuals are forced to work or have sex for someone else's commercial benefit. Polaris, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that \u003ca href=\"https://humantraffickinghotline.org/type-trafficking/human-trafficking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advocates for these people and runs help lines\u003c/a> for them, says calls and texts to its national hotlines have\u003ca href=\"http://polarisproject.org/sites/default/files/2017NHTHStats%20%281%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> steadily ticked up in recent years\u003c/a>, increasing the number of cases 13 percent to 8,759 between 2016 and 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But health care providers frequently fail to recognize these patients' situation. According to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.globalcenturion.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/The-Health-Consequences-of-Sex-Trafficking.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 survey of about 100 survivors of sex trafficking\u003c/a>, 88 percent said that while they were being trafficked they had contact with a health care provider, typically someone in an emergency department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When trafficking victims come through the health care system but we don't identify them, it's a big missed opportunity,\" says Dr. Santhosh Paulus, a family physician who is the site director of the Huntington Hospital's family medicine residency program and who started the program at Northwell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Northwell is one of a growing number of hospitals and health care systems that are putting such programs in place. They want to alert staff to be on the lookout for trafficking, much as they watch for signs of child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since last spring, nearly 300 staff members at Huntington Hospital and a family clinic have received training in how to spot trafficking victims and how to help them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Training is given not only to doctors and nurses but also to registration and reception staff, social workers and security guards. Restore NYC, an organization that assists people caught up in sex trafficking, provided the initial training to key staff, and a hospital task force trains the others. During the next few years, similar efforts will be rolled out at all of Northwell's 23 hospitals, Paulus says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Identifying victims of trafficking is not unlike identifying victims of other forms of violence, says Dr. Wendy Macias-Konstantopoulos, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.massgeneral.org/emergencymedicineglobalhealth/initiatives/Human-Trafficking-Initiative.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Human Trafficking Initiative\u003c/a> at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the big red flags is when people delay coming in for medical care, such as waiting weeks to come in to get an injured ankle or sexually transmitted infection checked out, Macias-Konstantopoulos says. Or it may be a pattern of injuries that don't make sense. Sometimes people are reluctant to explain their injury, or they come in with someone who seems overbearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having a high index of suspicion is the first step,\" she says. \"If we're not asking about it, we're just not going to see it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in October, health care providers can also start \u003ca href=\"https://www.aha.org/system/files/2018-07/icd-10-code-human-trafficking_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using new diagnosis codes\u003c/a> in their records to differentiate trafficking from other types of abuse. This will help track the number of victims and provide appropriate treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asking may not be enough, however. Depending on what's going on in their lives, these patients may not be willing or ready to acknowledge that they need help, says \u003ca href=\"https://www.traffickinginstitute.org/holly-austin-gibbs-joins-the-human-trafficking-institute/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holly Gibbs\u003c/a>, human trafficking response program director for Dignity Health, a health care system with nearly 40 hospitals in California, Nevada and Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbs knows the issue well. She was forced briefly into prostitution in Atlantic City, N.J., after meeting a man at a shopping mall as a 14-year-old and running away with him. The man persuaded Gibbs to go with him with promises of a new, glamorous life as a musician or model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Gibbs says, she thought that what happened to her was her own fault, a result of choices she made. No health care or law enforcement professional connected her to social services that could have helped her understand otherwise. She was reunited with her family by law enforcement personnel, who arrested the man, who was later convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dignity Health has implemented a human trafficking response program in the emergency departments and labor and delivery areas of each of its hospitals. Now it's rolling out the program at clinics and physicians' offices as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key priority is to help clinicians know how to talk to patients about any violence they may be facing and to connect the patients with outside sources of help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the end, if these patients don't want assistance, \"you respect their wishes,\" Gibbs says. \"They may not be ready to accept help now, but you may plant seeds so they'll be able to accept it later on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit news service covering health issues.

They also appeared to have a higher risk of heart disease and breast cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maki says more recent studies suggest that hormone therapy — especially estrogen alone — really can be helpful if women get it at the right time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The effects of hormone therapy depend on the timing of use,\" Maki says. \"Use later in life is detrimental, whereas use early in the menopausal transition could be beneficial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An analysis presented at the Alzheimer's conference supports that idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It found that in two recent studies, women who started taking estrogen after age 65 were more likely to have trouble with thinking and memory. But women who started taking estrogen between 50 and 54 were not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And estrogen may benefit the mental function of younger women because it reduces the hot flashes associated with menopause, Maki says.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more hot flashes a woman has, the worse her memory performance,\" Maki says, citing her own research. \"And when we intervene to address those hot flashes, her memory performance bounces back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Findings like that are renewing interest in the idea that someday, it may be possible to use hormones around the time of menopause to prevent Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia later on, Maki says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, there's evidence that hormonal differences between men and women may affect their brains in ways that affect doctors' ability to accurately diagnose Alzheimer's, Maki says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Alzheimer's conference, she presented research showing that women tend to have higher verbal memory skills than men, even when they are in the early stages of Alzheimer's. As a result, women are likely to be diagnosed with the disease later than men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether male hormones, such as testosterone, affect a man's risk of Alzheimer's.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
