Q: Ser is a verb that means "to be" and it's the only verb you'll need to tell the time. The two forms of ser are the plural form, son las ("they are") and the singular form, es la ("it is"). Only use es la when the hour is one o' clock. Use son las for all other times of day. For example: Son las dos. It's two o'clock. Es la una. It's one o'clock. Before telling the time fully, you should learn how to tell the time just using hours. Simply say es la una to indicate that it's one o'clock, and use son las followed the number associated with any hour other than one to say the time. Here are some examples: Son las cuatro. It's four o'clock. Son las cinco. It's five o'clock. Son las seis. It's six o'clock. Son las siete. It's seven o'clock. Son las once. It's eleven o'clock. Midnight and noon are whole hours, but you should say that it's midnight or noon using a slightly different method. Here's how to do it: Es mediodia. It's noon. Es medianoche. It's midnight. Telling the time in Spanish using minutes and hours is a bit trickier than in English. To tell the time in Spanish, you'll never need to use a number higher than 29. Here are the two methods you need to know: To tell the time in the first half hour, simply state the correct form of ser followed by the hour, followed by y ("and") and the number of minutes. Here are some examples: Son las siete y seis. It's 7:06. Son las diez y veinte. It's 10:20. Son las once y diez. It's 11:10. Just remember one exception: if you're indicating that it's the half hour, then don't say treinta ("thirty") but say media ("half") instead. For example: Son las dos y media. It's 2:30. To tell the time in the second half hour, you'll have to first state the correct form of ser followed by the next hour, followed by menos (minus) and the amount of minutes remaining until the following hour. Here are some examples: Son las nueve menos cinco. It's 8:55. Son las once menos veinte. It's 10:40. Es la una menos veinticinco. It's 12:35. Son las tres menos cuarto. It's 2:45. Note that you should say cuarto ("a quarter") instead of quince ("fifteen").
A: Understand how to use the verb "ser" when telling time. Tell the time using whole hours. Learn how to indicate if it's midnight or noon. Tell the time using hours and minutes.

Q: It's important to get medical treatment for an ectopic pregnancy right away. The sooner you get treatment, the lower your risks will be of developing severe complications. Common symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy include missing periods, pain in the low back and abdomen (can be on the right or left side), cramping, abnormal vaginal bleeding. If your ectopic pregnancy ruptures, you may experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, shoulder pain, low blood pressure, faintness, and pressure in the rectum. This is an emergency situation that requires immediate medical care. Early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy may be the same as the symptoms of a normal pregnancy, so it's important to see your doctor early to ensure that your pregnancy is developing normally. If you develop an ectopic pregnancy, you will need to either take medication or have surgery to remove the pregnancy. If medication is an option for you, it may be preferable, as it is less likely to cause damage to the fallopian tubes, which can further increase your risk of having another ectopic pregnancy in the future. Medication is usually only an option if the ectopic pregnancy is detected early. The medication used to stop cell growth is called methotrexate. If methotrexate is used, the patient will be required to follow up regularly for blood tests and close observation, so you must be able to commit to returning for follow up appointments. Methotrexate can cause side effects, including indigestion, diarrhea, and nausea. If you were given methotrexate, use birth control to avoid becoming pregnant again for at least three months. Exposure to methotrexate may harm your unborn child. Surgery is sometimes the best option, so always listen to your doctor's advice. Surgery is done laparoscopically (through tiny incisions) and only rarely through a laparotomy (large incision). If you have abdominal pain that does not subside after you are treated for an ectopic pregnancy, tell your doctor about it right away. This may be a sign of an infection, which could continue to increase your risk of having ectopic pregnancies if it is not treated. While there's not much you can to prevent another ectopic pregnancy, you can prevent a future ectopic pregnancy from causing serious complications. If you have had an ectopic pregnancy in the past, you should see your doctor for blood tests and ultrasounds as soon as you think you are pregnant again. This can help confirm early on whether your pregnancy is normal. Most women who have ectopic pregnancies go on to have normal pregnancies, so don't give up hope.
A: Get treatment for symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. Opt for medicine instead of surgery if possible. Report persistent abdominal pain. Have future pregnancies monitored early.

Q: They put pressure on your limbs to prevent too much fluid from collecting. Compression garments may be found in most medical supply or drugstores, or you can talk to your doctor about getting one through your insurance. You may use inflatable garments around the swollen limb as another way to reduce swelling. These are easier to slip on than compression garments, and you have greater control over the pressure they exert. Talk to your doctor about whether using a pump is right for you. Sequential gradient pump therapy is another option in which electric pumps connected to inflatable garments are used to repeatedly and sequentially compress and decompress the swollen limb to aid fluid circulation. If your edema doesn't go away on its own when you make lifestyle changes, your doctor may want to prescribe a diuretic to help flush the fluid from your body. Furosemide is the most commonly prescribed drug for treating edema. Edema may be caused by pregnancy or certain medications, but there are also many diseases and underlying medical conditions that can cause edema. If you experience edema without knowing the cause, it's very important to get immediate medical attention to determine what's going on. The following serious diseases and illnesses may cause edema: Infection of or injury to blood vessels Kidney, heart or liver disease Brain injury resulting in cerebral edema Allergies
A:
Wear compression hose or sleeves. Use an inflatable pump. Talk to your doctor about taking medication. Get treated for underlying causes.
