Hi fellow gamers:

During a local gaming event some guys pulled a Mario Kart 64 and we had a blast. That gave me a craving for some more Mario Kart, So I managed to play Double Dash on my Wii. I played this game in the past, mostly in multiplayer and not as much as MK 8, MKDS and MK Wii.

Boy, I feel this game can be a little unforgiving. The 50cc and 100cc were a breeze, but the 150cc got a little frustrating: One small mistake and you can be dragged from 1st to 5th-6th, I don't recall the other games being that punishing.

Anyway I managed to get almost all thropies from 50cc to 150cc. but the Special Cup in 150cc has been been still a little pain. I usually race with Bowser and a Koopa since I like the Heavy weight and speed and also to have more shell availability.

Do you have any advices, do I just plain suck right now or is it better to follow the mantra of 'git gud'?

Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) is a medication used for heart failure, esophageal spasms, and to treat and prevent chest pain from not enough blood flow to the heart.[1] It has been found to be particularly useful in heart failure due to systolic dysfunction together with hydralazine in black people.[2][1] It is taken by mouth or under the tongue.[1]

Common side effects include headache, lightheadedness with standing, and blurred vision.[1] Severe side effects include low blood pressure.[1] It is unclear if use in pregnancy is safe for the baby.[1] It should not be used together with medications within the sildenafil family.[1] ISDN is in the nitrate family of medications and works by dilating blood vessels.[1]

Isosorbide dinitrate was first written about in 1939.[3] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.[4] ISDN is available as a generic medication.[1] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$6.36 a month.[5] In the United States it costs less than US$25 per month.[6] A long acting form exists.[1]

Medical uses[edit]

It is used for angina, in addition to other medications for congestive heart failure, and for esophageal spasms.[1]

Long-acting nitrates can be more useful as they are generally more effective and stable in the short term.

Side effects[edit]

After long-term use for treating chronic conditions, tolerance may develop in patients, reducing its effectiveness. The mechanisms of nitrate tolerance have been thoroughly investigated in the last 30 years and several hypotheses have been proposed. These include:

  1. Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); fainting; fast or slow heartbeat; nausea; new or worsening chest pain; vomiting.
  2. Impaired biotransformation of ISDN to its active principle NO (or a NO-related species)
  3. Neurohormonal activation, causing sympathetic activation and release of vasoconstrictors such as endothelin and angiotensin II which counteract the vasodilation induced by ISDN
  4. Plasma volume expansion
  5. The oxidative stress hypothesis (proposed by Munzel et al. in 1995)

The last hypothesis might represent a unifying hypothesis, and an ISDN-induced inappropriate production of oxygen free radicals might induce a number of abnormalities which include the ones described above. Furthermore, nitrate tolerance is shown to be associated with vascular abnormalities which have the potential to worsen patients prognosis:[7] these include endothelial and autonomic dysfunction.[8] In the short run, ISDN can cause severe headaches, necessitating analgesic (very rarely up to morphine) administration for relief of pain, as well as severe hypotension, and, in certain cases, bradycardia. This makes some physicians nervous and should prompt caution when starting nitrate administration.

Mechanism of action[edit]

Similar to other nitrites and organic nitrates, isosorbide dinitrate is converted to nitric oxide (NO), an active intermediate compound which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase (atrial natriuretic peptide receptor A). This stimulates the synthesis of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) which then activates a series of protein kinase-dependent phosphorylations in the smooth muscle cells, eventually resulting in the dephosphorylation of the myosin light chain of the smooth muscle fiber. The subsequent sequestration of calcium ions results in the relaxation of the smooth muscle cells and vasodilation.[9]

Society and culture[edit]

Isosorbide dinitrate is sold in the US under the brand names Dilatrate-SR by Schwarz and Isordil by Valeant, according to FDA Orange Book. In the United Kingdom, Argentina, and Hong Kong, a trade name of it is Isoket. It is also a component of BiDil.
