Introduction: The fact that inclusive education has existed in Bosnia and Herzegovina for twenty years opens the question of how it affects typically developing children, among other things. This paper aims to examine the differences in general knowledge and mathematics of typically developing students with regard to whether they attend classes that include students with intellectual disabilities or not, as well as to determine the relationship of their knowledge with teachers' characteristics and the inclusiveness of schools they attend.
Methods: The sample included 331 students from 18 regular elementary school classes.
Introduction: Pragmatics includes a set of skills related to language structure and meaning that allow the speaker to use the language appropriately and in accordance with different communication situations. The aim of this research was to determine the differences in pragmatic communication skills of adults with intellectual disabilities, dual diagnoses, and typical development, and to determine the effects of gender, age, the level of intellectual functioning and speech comprehension on their achievements on two assessment instruments.
Methods: The sample included 180 adults (60 typically developing participants, 60 with intellectual disabilities, and 60 participants with dual diagnoses).
Breast cancers (BC) can mutate, allowing metastatic tumors (MT) to sometimes differ to primary tumors (PT) in gene expression. Despite contemporary metastatic breast cancer (MBC) therapy, subtype conversion seems prognostically disadvantageous. We strived to determine the influence of mRNA-assessed intrinsic subtype stability comparing PT and MT biopsies and circulating tumor cell (CTC)-based liquid biopsies on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

As a simple and validated index of autonomic balance, heart rate recovery (HRR) has been reported as a useful biomarker for predicting cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare HRR in metabolically healthy vs.
Background: Since gestogens, in the form of hormonal substitution therapy, have been proposed to have a role in the prevention of threatened spontaneous abortions during the first three months of pregnancy, we decided to evaluate possible genotoxic effects of these preparations.
Methods: A total of 30 pregnant women, with a diagnosis of threatened spontaneous abortions, received the gestogen therapy in the first 3 months, and a sample of 30 pregnant women without indication for hormonal therapy were included as the control group. For investigation of mutagenic effects of gestogens in vivo the cytokinesis block (CB) micronucleus (MN) test was applied.
