Terminally Ill Adolescents

Abstract: The causes of death in children are substantially different from the causes of death in adults. This 5 page paper examines two articles specific to research being done with terminally ill adolescents. The first article focuses on the capacity of the immune system of adolescents to generate and replenish naive and memory cell populations in normal homeostasis and HIV infection while the second explores the effects of sodium intake for adolescents with cystic fibrosis. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
