Q: During a pelvic exam your doctor is likely to do several things which will help evaluate whether you have ovarian cancer. These include: Inspecting your abdomen and genitals. Feeling your uterus and ovaries by putting gloved fingers in your vagina and simultaneously using the other hand to press your uterus and ovaries against the fingers in your body. This may be slightly uncomfortable, but should not cause pain. Looking inside your vagina with a speculum Depending upon what your doctor found during the pelvic exam, it may be advisable to get more information through additional tests. These tests can help the doctor evaluate the size and shape of your ovaries: An ultrasound An X-ray A CT scan An MRI scan Some types of ovarian cancer cells make a protein referred to as CA125. This means that high levels of it may signal cancer. This is, however, not a screening test it is used when there is already a concern for cancer. Other conditions can also raise the level of this protein, so it must be done in connection with other tests. Some other conditions that elevate the level of this protein are: Endometriosis Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Fibroids Pregnancy These tests will let the doctor test directly for cancerous cells: Laparoscopy. During this procedure the doctor inserts an tiny camera through a little cut in your abdomen and looks at the ovaries directly. A biopsy. The doctor may take a small sample of tissue from your ovaries and test it to see if it is cancerous. Abdominal fluid aspiration. During this procedure the doctor uses a long needle to extract some fluid from your abdomen. That fluid will then be examined to see if it has abnormal cells in it.
A: Get a pelvic exam. Discuss imaging tests with your doctor. Consider a blood test. Use invasive tests to get more definite information.

Q: Arrange ahead of time to take a towel or blanket your new kitten slept on from her old home. Having a familiar scent will make the adjustment much easier. Use this blanket or towel in the carrier on the way home and leave it there for your cat to sleep on. The carrier will keep your kitten safe and help her feel more secure. Place a towel in the carrier for warmth and to absorb urine in case of an accident. Don't use another pet's carrier, as the smell of another animal can be stressful to the kitten. Provide your kitten with her own small room or space. It should be quiet and out of the way. The space should have a bed, water, kitten food, a litter box, scratching post, and safe toys. Whether you use a cardboard box or a bed purchased from a pet store, consider lining it with an old sweatshirt so your kitten can grow accustomed to your scent. Be sure the room or space has places to hide. If there is no furniture to hide behind, put cardboard boxes in the room with holes cut into them for your cat to enter. Place her carrier in the room, open the door, and let her come out when she's ready. Leave the carrier in the room as another hiding place. You will likely want to hold and pet your kitten continuously. Don't. Your kitten needs time to adjust to her new environment, including the people in it. Introduce one family member at a time, and take it slow, letting your kitten come to you. Be sure to teach young children how to interact with your kitten properly, including how to safely hold her. Do not allow children under 5 to interact with the kitten. It is unsafe for the cat. When your kitten is eating, drinking, and using the litter box regularly, that is a sign that she is comfortable in her room and you can start introducing her to the rest of your home one room at a time. Place her open carrier in a room and let her explore on her own. After exploring, bring your kitten back to her den for at least a few hours before exploring the next room. If your kitten climbs on something a bookshelf, bed, etc. that you don't want her on, gently pick her up and place her on the floor. If you do this from day one, you should have less trouble establishing off-limits places for your cat. Giving the kitten the food she is used to will provide a source of comfort and avoid an upset stomach caused by the bacteria in her gut having to adjust to a new food. Plan ahead and ask the person you are buying the kitten from what kind of food they have been feeding it, so you can have that food ready when your kitten arrives at your home. Cats produce facial pheromones (chemical signals) that they rub on things they know are safelike their bed, a chair, or even your leg. There are plug-in diffusers that spray a synthetic version of these pheromones, which let cats know they are in a safe environment. They last about 30 days plenty of time to comfort your kitten until she has adjusted to her new environment. The most commonly used kind of pheromone diffuser is Feliway. It can come as a spray or as a device that you plug in to the wall that will emit the pheromones automatically.
A: Take some bedding from your kitten's old home. Bring your new kitten home in a carrier. Create a secure den for the kitten. Let your kitten explore her den at her own speed. Limit your interaction with the kitten for the first week. Introduce your kitten to your home once she has settled in her den. Continue to feed the kitten the food she was weaned on to avoid causing her health problems during the separation. Consider using a plug-in pheromone diffuser to ease the kitten's anxiety.

Q: (optional).
A: Apply moisturizer

Q: Flip the vacuum over and remove the bottom plate from your vacuum using a screwdriver. Once you take off the back plate, you should see the roller brush and the belt connecting to the motor. Keep your vacuum unplugged while replacing a belt so it doesn't run and catch your finger. If your vacuum has side suction, look for the belt on the side opposite of where the hose attaches. If you have a vacuum that has a central suction unit, the belt will be in the middle of the bottom plate. Unloop the belt from the metal spindle and from the roller brush to take it off. Some vacuum cleaners require you to remove the roller brush in order to replace the belt. Loop the new belt around the metal spindle connecting to the engine. Then stretch the belt taut so it loops around the roller brush. Check that the belt isn't scraping against the side or scratching anything. Replacement belts can be purchased online, or from vacuum repair shops. The belt you need may depend on the model of vacuum you're using, so make sure to search for belts made for the machine you have. Before you replace the bottom plate, spin the roller brush slowly by hand so the belt can rotate. Make sure the belt doesn't snag or pinch on anything inside your vacuum or else it might break again. Keep your vacuum upside-down as you plug it in and turn it on. Check the roller to see if the belt is making it spin. If it still does not work, there may be a problem with the motor and it will need to be checked by a technician.
A:
Open the bottom of your vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver. Locate and remove the belt on the side or center of your vacuum base. Place the new belt on the spindle and roller. Turn the roller by hand to check for any pinches or snags. Try running your vacuum to see if it works again.
