Identification keys to males and females are provided for the 77 species of the genus Coenosia Meigen, 1826 known from Russia, including one new species from the Magadan region (Coenosia luxia sp. nov.), and also Macrorchis meditata (Falln, 1825).

The prevalence of stroke-induced cognitive impairment is high. Effective approaches to the treatment of these cognitive impairments after stroke remain a serious and perhaps underestimated challenge. A BCI-based task-focused training that results in repetitive recruitment of the normal motor or cognitive circuits may strengthen stroke-affected neuronal connectivity, leading to functional improvements.

Viruses and bacteria commonly exhibit spatial repetition of surface molecules that directly interface with the host immune system. However the complex interaction of patterned surfaces with immune molecules containing multiple binding domains is poorly understood. We developed a pipeline for constructing mechanistic models of antibody interactions with patterned antigen substrates.

The abdominal and pregenital segments and the genitalia were studied in males of (Zetterstedt, 1845), (Linnaeus, 1761) and (Zetterstedt, 1838). In comparison with the remaining members of the muscoid grade, in addition to the symmetry of the pregenital segments, significant reductions of the sclerites and musculature of the male terminalia have been observed in Fanniidae. The muscular structure of pregenital segments confirms that the fused pregenital ring is syntergosternite VI + VII + VIII.

The North American fauna of Meigen was studied. Four new species are described ( , , , ), and three new synonymies are proposed: (Huckett, 1966) (= (Huckett, 1966), ); (Rondani, 1866) (= (Rondani, 1871), ); and (Aldrich, 1918) (= Sorokina & Pont, 2015, ). An annotated checklist, DNA barcodes (when available), and keys for each sex of the 24 named species of North American are provided.
