A 5-year-old castrated male domestic shorthair cat was diagnosed with diabetic
ketoacidosis and severe insulin resistance. Although the conventional treatment for
diabetic ketoacidosis was provided, the cat required frequent hospitalization because of
severe dehydration and repeated diabetic ketoacidosis. We detected anti-insulin antibodies
for human in this cat. Serum insulin-binding IgG levels were markedly elevated compared
with those in healthy cats and other diabetic cats. We initiated prednisolone to suppress
the effects of anti-insulin antibodies. After initiation of prednisolone, the cat was
gradually recovered with increasing activity and appetite. Furthermore, satisfactory
glycemic control was achieved with combined subcutaneous injection of insulin detemir and
insulin degludec.

This paper describes fundamental characteristics of wind response control of structures using the inertial mass. The change of mass, damping parameter, natural period, Scruton number are defined using the inertia mass ratio γ. Using a condensation single-degree-offreedom model of a super high rise building, the response is simulated under white noise and external wind force. From the results, reduced effect of the acceleration response is found. The aerodynamic stability of structures by the inertia mass is investigated by means of modified hybrid vibration technique. It is found out that the inertial mass has effect of aerodynamic stability of structures.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
