We propose a friendly amendment to integrative experiment design (IED), adversarial-collaboration IED, that incentivizes research teams from competing theoretical perspectives to identify zones of the design space where they possess an explanatory edge. This amendment is especially critical in debates that have high policy stakes and carry a strong normative-political charge that might otherwise prevent free exchange of ideas.

Case-informed learning is an umbrella term we use to classify pedagogical approaches that use text-based cases for learning. Examples include Problem-Based, Case-Based, and Team-Based approaches, amongst others. We contend that the cases at the heart of case-informed learning are philosophical artefacts that reveal traditional positivist orientations of medical education and medicine, more broadly, through their centering scientific knowledge and objective fact.

We synthesized K(ATP)-channel openers (KCOs) composed of the 4-pyridonechromene moiety of bimakalim (1) and a variety of sulfonyl-containing 6-substituents 4-29. Dilator potencies were measured in rat aorta and trachea. In both test systems the KCOs exhibit potency ranges of roughly 3 log units.

Although the exact aetiology of overactive bladder is unknown to date, pharmacological therapy has been targeted to both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Potential CNS targets include GABA, opioid, serotonin (5-HT), dopamine and glutaminergic receptors as well as the alpha-adrenoceptors. Potential PNS targets include muscarinic receptors, calcium and potassium channels and alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors.
