2) The face is narrow and small, especially the mandible is poor.
3) The leg is abnormally short, the hand and the foot are slender.
4) The thorax in_??_and the shoulder in are narrow.
5) The emaciation of malnutrition is sever beyond their small stature, especially the extremity is severer than the trunk.
6) The soft tissue rapidly falls into decar with the chang for the worse.
7) In cervical-and humeralregion (belong to C. II.-VIII.), the emaciation is particularly severe from the beginning of the disease.
