Claw-Hand

Craniofacial abnormalities, joint immobility, club-foot, claw-hand, scoliosis... 

In ML-III patients, stiffness of the hands and shoulders due to rheumatoid arthritis leads to claw-hand deformities in addition to short stature and scoliosis. 

By 6 months of age, psychomotor retardation is usually obvious. Joint immobility progresses with development of claw-hand deformities and kyphoscoliosis. Hepatomegaly is prominent, but splenomegaly is minimal. Corneal haziness may be present but is subtle, and corneal opacities due to the accumulation of storage material are not as striking as in Hurler syndrome. Examination of peripheral blood smears reveals the presence of abnormal inclusions in cells such as lymphocytes, and increased lysosomal enzyme activity in whole blood as well as cultured fibroblasts is confirmatory of I-cell disease. 

Associated skeletal abnormalities are bilateral in most cases and were found in approximately 75% of all reported cases of HAP. Shortening of the fourth metatarsal bone is most frequent, usually in conjunction with malformations of toes or fingers, such as hypertrophy of the second toe, claw hand formation, and elongation or shortening of other metatarsal bones. 

With a grenade projection adapter, a hand grenade can be converted into a rifle grenade. The adapter consists of a stabilizer rube with a fin assembly on one end and gripping claws on the other end Addnl Refs for Grenades ... 

Hand Cartoning. Basically any carton style, with any form of good, any calliper board, any of the closure flap design (lock slit, friction fit, claw lock, crash lock, envelope lock), any number of leaflets, measures, or droppers, and so forth can be used in hand cartoning. 

These are highly combustible and easily ignited. The natural reaction to a combusting claw, shaking the hand violently, is likely to distribute burning polymer droplets broadcast. Not advised in laboratories. 

One of the ant things shambles over to a dogwood tree and clasps a branch with its claw-like hands. It shakes a large beetle from the branch into its mouth. Try one, it says. 

Joking Teasing I will teach you to tease. Hands clawed at my face. 

Grazia Sanudo screamed in fury and sprang at me, clawing for my eyes. I was forced to drop Danese s sword and grab her by the neck with my left hand to hold her off. 

And yet her feathers look so soft, I long to bury my hands in them. I can easily see the hand of God in the owl s perfect symmetry—perfectly hooked beak and claws, perfect heart-shaped face. 

Babe makes slow progress. Hear it crying a good deal, though thankfully not when in the laboratory. The pace of its development puzzles me. Cannot be in proportion to size. Necessity, more like. A calf, for instance, lacking claws or the instinct to attack and with only a lumbering cow to protect it, is on its feet within hours of birth. A kitten, on the other hand, is dependent for some weeks. This human child is utterly helpless, and I confess I am impatient with it, even wonder if I was not too rash in believing I could shape it. 

Lemurs have flat nails instead of claws on both hands and feet. Most have 36 teeth, though the indrids have 30 and the ring-tailed lemur has 32. Mary lemurs exhibit profound differences in weight and activity from one season to the next. For example, the male s scrotum.
