P1-332 First insight into genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Salvador, Brazil
This study constitutes a first attempt to describe the genetic population structure of M tuberculosis circulating in Salvador. A total of 56 confirmed cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, identified between March and June, 2008 were analysed using IS6110-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The study population was characterised by male (71.4%) and over 30 years of age (68.7%). Forty-one isolates were found in a single pattern (73.21%), w…
P2-506 Influence of climate on the incidence of urban leptospirosis
Introduction Leptospirosis has emerged as an important health problem in developing countries due to the growth of slum settlements worldwide, where poor sanitation favours rat-borne transmission. Large urban epidemics occur during seasonal periods of heavy rainfall. However, a detailed analysis has not been performed to determine how rainfall, as well as other climatic factors, specifically influences the risk of leptospirosis in these endemic s…
Genetic associations between lateral signs
Only a few authors examined several lateral asymmetries in families simultaneously. Seven lateralities (handedness, footedness, eyedness, earedness, hand clasping, arm folding and leg crossing) were examined in a sample of 292 biologically related parent-offspring triads and 36 sibling pairs. Analysis of the family data showed a significant association between parents and children in most lateralities. The frequency of left-sidedness increased wi…

A modular approach to the grammar of additive particles
In this paper we give a modular account of the grammar of additive particles. In doing this we take issue with the standard descriptions of focus particles, which are based on just one possible pattern: the particle preceding the main stressed constituent it relates to (its RC). Additive particles, however, occur in a second, equally unmarked pattern: the RC preceding the main stressed particle. Former accounts do not only miss this comple-mentar…
A study of leg-crossing in a German sample
When a person is asked to cross their flexed legs then one thigh crossed over the other. This paper reviews the previous literature on leg crossing, and reports new data. In this study about 62% of the population (n = 292) are right leg-crossers, 26% are left leg-crossers, and the remaining 12% report that they have no preference or are indifferent. The incidence of left leg-crossing differs between the sexes, being higher in males, although ther…
