Patients with heart failure suffer from swelling because of too much fluid in the body. Furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, and metolazone are all water pills used to treat the swelling. For most patients, taking furosemide alone is successful. However, sometimes patients need to add another water pill. Doctors usually add either metolazone or hydrochlorothiazide.
Michelangelo was strongly inspired and influenced by ancient Greek and Roman art 4. During the dark ages, European medieval art was exclusively based on Christian themes, due to the lacking number of artists, many artistic techniques and knowledge was lost during this era.
On March 6, 1475, Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Tuscany, Italy to Ludovico di Leonardo di Buonarotto Simoni and Francesca Neri. He was one of five boys (talk about having your hands full!). His mother was too sick to nurse Michelangelo, so he was placed with a wet nurse, in a family of stone cutters. (A wet nurse is a woman who, having milk because she is nursing her own child, takes on another woman's child to nurse as well.) His natural mother died when Michelangelo was only six years old. His love for sculpting came so naturally to him that he would claim in his later years that it had come to him in his wet-nurse's milk. Michelangelo's father encouraged young Michelangelo to become a buisnessman. This would bring honor and money to the family. One can only imagine the scene that took place when Michealangelo, at 13, told his father he wished to become an artist instead.
