In a study of patients suffering from craniosynostosis various pre- and post-operative parameters were identified that may affect subsequent intellectual capacity. In particular, facial malformations appeared to be closely correlated with impaired intellectual development. Other parameters included measurement of cranial circumference and volume; their subaverage values correlated with slight mental insufficiency. However, in the pre-operative period they cannot be used as prognostic indices because these relations were statistically not significant. The remaining parameters (neurological and electroencephalographic findings, post-operative re-ossification of the skull, pre-operative digital impressions, CT findings) did not seem to be related to intellectual development.

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: The 2020 pharmaceutical strategy for Europe stressed that rethinking regulatory policies to foster innovation in disease areas with unmet medical needs (UMN) is one of the European Commission's (EC) priority areas. To understand stakeholders' views regarding appropriate UMN criteria and incentives, the EC developed a survey and launched it for public consultation between September and December 2021. This study aims to assess stakeholders' views on the policy revisions proposed by the EC, particularly those regarding the definition of UMN, its criteria and incentives and evaluate how stakeholders' views are reflected in the proposed reform of the EU pharmaceutical legislation of 2023.
