French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born just 11 days short of Valentine's
Day on February 25, 1841. His life, however, would be framed by his love for
nature and people and his expression of that in painting.
Renior: Painter of Love and Nature
The man who would go on to become a central figure in the Impressionist
movement started off in humble beginnings, the sixth of seven children. His
family's financial circumstances precipitated a move to Paris from Renoir's
birthplace of Limoges when he was only 3 years old. This would eventually prove
fortuitous, and their new city address was only a stone's throw away from the
Louvre. The world-renowned art museum would become a refuge for Renoir when at age 13, he had
to give up the pursuit of a music to begin an apprenticeship at a porcelain factory, painting plates.
At the Louvre, Renoir explored 18th-century French masters and showed the curiosity for the work
of others that would later lead to experimentation and the creation of a new movement. The factory
owner, who recognized Renoir's talent, encouraged him to pursue studies in art. Some time after
the factory closed, in 1862, Renoir began serious study under Charles Gleyre in Paris.
Renoir's early career was marked by poverty, and he is known to have struggled through the 1860s,
barely able to buy paints and canvases. He didn't give up, however. He submitted his work to the
Salon and forged alliances with people who would prove to be patrons. The turning point in his
career came in 1867 when he painted his mistress Lise Trehot. 'Lise and the Parasol' displayed
Renoir's sensitivity to female sensuality and the female body would become one of his primary
subjects. Producing thousands of paintings in his lifetime, Renoir's work in review shows an artist
driven by love. After his marriage in 1890, he turned his attention to capturing his wife, family
life and children. Later in life, not even severe rheumatoid arthritis could stop him from creating.

In recognition of American Heart Month, here are some cardiovascular research developments to keep an
eye on in 2020, courtesy of Harvard Health Publishing:
Featuring specialized microphones and sensors that filter, buffer, and amplify sounds
from the heart, digital stethoscopes then convert the sounds to a digital signal sent wirelessly to a
smartphone. There, the patterns can be visualized and further analyzed.
A chip the size of a postage stamp contains miniature channels, valves,
processors, and pumps that enable precise manipulation of different fluids. The chip can screen hundreds
of compounds in a few hours and was developed by Australian scientists who aim to identify better and
safer anti-clotting treatments.
An experimental injectable drug called Inclisiran requires just two
injections a year and may cut LDL -- the "bad" cholesterol -- in half. Another new drug called bempedoic
acid can lower LDL by about 25 percent for those who can't tolerate high doses of statins.
The Biobeat device uses a small skin patch to measure light absorbed or
reflected by blood vessels; paired with a special smartwatch, it continuously measures a person's heart rate
and oxygen level in addition to blood pressure. The patch is placed on the upper torso and lasts for 10
days.
Miniaturized ultrasound devices that fit in a doctor's lab coat pocket are plugged into
a smartphone or tablet, providing images that can detect problems with the aorta or the heart valves and also
determine the severity of heart failure. Though they won't replace standard echocardiograms, the goal is faster
