    The genome of a pathogenic organism possesses a specific order of nucleotides that contains not only information about the synthesis and expression of proteomes, which are required for its growth and survival, but also about its evolution. Inhibition of any particular protein, which is required for the survival of that pathogenic organism, can be used as a potential therapeutic target for the development of effective drugs to treat its infections. In this review, the genomics, proteomics and evolution of dengue virus have been discussed, which will be helpful in better understanding of its origin, growth, survival and evolution, and may contribute toward development of new efficient anti-dengue drugs

    T helper (Th) 1 and 17 cells play important roles in host protective responses against tuberculosis. Early Secretory Antigenic Target 6; a Region of Difference 1 (RD1) encoded protein, mounts Th17-responses in the lung. Therefore, lack of RD-1 region makes Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) less vaccine efficacious than parent strains

    Primarno obilježje zdravstvene djelatnosti koje je čini specifičnom je to što se izravno bavi čovjekom i njegovim zdravljem. Zdravstvena djelatnost i zdravstveni radnici koji ju obavljaju, štite i unaprjeđuju najveće ljudske i društvene vrijednosti,život i zdravlje. Cilj je zdravstvene zaštite promocija, unapređenje zdravlja, prevencija, odnosno sprječavanje bolesti, pravodobno otkrivanje bolesti, učinkovito liječenje i rehabilitacija stanovništva. Radiološki tehnolozi sudjeluju u postupcima pružanja zdravstvene zaštite, sukladno zakonskim načelima, na svim razinama pružanja zdravstvene zaštite, pod uvjetima predviđenim važećim zakonima. Radiološki tehnolog je svakodnevno izložen raznim opasnostima i mogućnostima počinjenja stručnih pogrešaka. Njegovo zdravlje može biti ugroženo od izvora ionizirajućeg zračenja kada uređaji koji emitiraju ionizirajuće zračenje nisu ispravni i kada ne koristi odgovarajuću zaštitu. Zakon o zdravstvenoj zaštiti korisnicima - pacijentimagarantira određena prava, ali i nameće obveze. Svaka osoba ima pravo na zdravstvenu zaštitu i na mogućnost ostvarenja najviše moguće razine zdravlja, u skladu s odredbama Zakona o zdravstvenoj zaštiti i Zakona o obveznom zdravstvenom osiguranja. Prava zdravstvenih radnika, kao ni radioloških tehnologa, još nisu kodificirana jednima aktom, već ih pronalazimo u raznim zakonima koji reguliraju zdravstvenu djelatnost. prava pacijenata i samu struku, radiološku tehnologiju. Danas se od zdravstvenih radnika, a tako i od radioloških tehnologa, traže sve veće vještine i znanja, propisana je obveza obveznog usavršavanja, a proces usvajanja novih znanja u vidu neformalnog obrazovanja prisutan je u sve većoj mjeri. Savjesno i pažljivo obavljanje svoga posla, uz poštivanje zakonskih propisa i osnovnih principa iz domene ljudskih prava, prema kolegama i prema pacijentima, predstavlja okvir sigurnog rada radioloških tehnologa.The primary feature of healthcare is that it makes more specific than others.It deals directly with a man and his health. "Healthcare is one of the most important human activities because it protects and promotes the highest human and social values, life and health". Healthcare is a system of state, collective and individual measures for improvement, save and restore health. The goal is to promote healthcare, health promotion, prevention, and prevention of diseases, early detection of disease, effective treatment and rehabilitation. Health protection is organized on three levels, primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare. The health worker is a person who has a medical education and is providing healthcare to individuals, with obligatory adherence to moral and ethical principles of medical profession. Healthcare workers are educated at medical, dental, pharmacy and biochemistry faculty and other university medical orientation as well as in secondary medical schools. Radiology technologist carries out various types of recording that allow identification and monitoring of the disease.They participate in any kind of treatment of malignant disease - radiotherapy or radiation therapy. The most famous is there cord where applicable X-rays, which allow you to display the bones, heart, lungs and other organs and systems. A radiology technologist may be compromised by ionizing radiation when devices that emit ionizing radiation are not correct. Also, insulation elements in the room may be incorrect (too thin or are no longer in the correct function), and in some medical treatment (interventional radiology) radiological technologist is within the radiation field. Health Care Act gives users certain rights, but also imposes obligations. Every person has a right to healthcare and the possibility of achieving the highest possible level of health, in accordance with the provisions of the Health Protection and theLaw on Compulsory Health Insurance. Today, health professionals are seeking higher skills and knowledge, and therefore the greater is the risk. For fear of mistakes doctors are beginning to use the so-called "Defensive Medicine". It is carriedout a series of unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic 37 procedures in order to ensure health workers from potential liability, and this causes higher costs of medical treatment and potential risk to the patient
