How many people worldwide have Parkinson's Disease and what is the mortality rate...reliable sources please? How many people worldwide get malaria per year and what is the mortality rate...reliable sources please? In people suffering from cystic fibrosis, why does the shape of the palisade cells retain chloride ions and then stop water being released? Is it something to do with channel protein systems? If Cystic Fibrosis primarily affects the lungs and digestive and reproductive systems then why do sufferers have a heart and lung transplant rather than just a lung transplant. Surely having both the heart and lungs transplanted would not only make it harder to find a match but would increase the risks and complications?
