The typical line of support offered for this view is that it corresponds with the ordinary or commonsense conception of pain. Despite this, a growing body of evidence from experimental philosophers indicates that the ordinary understanding of pain stands in contrast to the standard view among philosophers. In this paper, we will survey this literature and add to it, detailing the results of seven new studies on the ordinary understanding of pain using both questionnaire and corpus analysis methods.

The antidiabetic drug, gliclazide, increases fibrin fiber thickness but reduces whole network permeability. The networks are, however, more lysable. These effects are further examined in this study using electron microscopy. Changes were observed in protein concentrations in fibrin fibers, in fibrin fiber alignment and in fiber porosity. These results show that gliclazide modifies fibrin monomer polymerization so that the fibrin network is rendered more susceptible to fibrinolysis. This pharmacological action of gliclazide may be useful in the treatment of thromboembolism.
