Objective: Inclusive education aims to offer comprehensive collaborative education to healthy and disabled children. The purpose of the study is to perform a comparative analysis of the learning results in healthy and disabled children from different groups with those who study remotely, and a similar analysis between students of higher education institutions. Methods: The study was conducted in 2018–19 in Moscow, Russia, involving 150 students with disabilities and 397 healthy students. Consideration was given to academic performance, psychophysical development and speech development. Results and Discussion: Among students with healthcare nosologies, students with vision impairments are considered the most promising. The number of underachievers is 4.9 times lower than their peers (p 0.001).The greatest success in e-learning was among students with health nosologies relative to a similar group of children. Conclusions: The number of outstanding students in the group with visual impairments exceeds those in the control group by 1.5 times (p≤0.05). Of the students with health nosologies, the most promising group is visually impaired students. High academic performance of students with visual impairments and disordered motor activity provides them with the opportunity to practice comprehensive education at universities, including inclusive education, which corresponds to current worldwide trends.

Immunological testing for tuberculosis has been one of the most rapidly developing areas in the last decade. A new-generation immunological skin test, Diaskintest (DST), has been developed in the Russian Federation and successfully implemented into clinical practice since 2009. This article presents the results of a meta-analysis of publications reporting data on the use of the recombinant tuberculosis allergen DST (n = 121) from 2009 to 2019 included in Russian and international databases. The analysis included a total of 61 papers consistent with the study design, which cumulatively presented the results of 3,777,083 patients tested with DST (83.0%). The obtained data showed that the overall diagnostic sensitivity of the test in this population, regardless of age, was 86.0%, with 98.0% negative results. It was found that the intensity of the immune response of tuberculosis patients to specific ESAT-6 and CFP-10 antigens of DST may depend on the biological properties of the pathogen characteristic to various Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes, tuberculosis severity, and the presence of concomitant diseases. These factors are more prevalent in the adult population. In children, however, the test sensitivity reaches 100%. The proportion of positive DST results in HIV-positive patients tested for tuberculosis was 60.0%. The analysis showed that the accuracy (overall validity) of DST was 95.1% in the total studied population (95% confidence interval [CI]: 95.06–95.1) and 92.4% in HIV-positive patients (95% CI: 91.9–92.7).
