Context:
Alimta is used to treat two types of cancer: pleural mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lungs that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos). Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells. Alimta is used in combination with cisplatin in patients who have not been treated before, and on its own in patients who have received another type of chemotherapy in the past. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Alimta used? Alimta should <t>only</t> be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy. The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient s height and weight).

**Deconstructing the Word "Only"**

Okay, the target word here is "only" in that sentence about Alimta. My initial thought is to figure out the nuance – does it mean it *must* be under supervision *exclusively*, or perhaps that it can *never* be given except when supervised? I’m immediately leaning towards “exclusively” or “solely,” but I need to be sure.

Let’s dissect this. "Only be given under the supervision" translates to "given entirely/exclusively/solely under supervision." Hmm, sense 2 of "only" seems to fit: "without any others being included or involved" – *entirely, exclusively, solely, alone*.

But wait, sense 6 might also be relevant: "never except when" – meaning "only if" or "only when." "Alimta should only be given under the supervision..." is equivalent to "Alimta should be given only if it is under the supervision..." The "only" modifies the prepositional phrase "under the supervision".

Okay, let's explore this. Sense 1 is "and nothing more," such as "merely". No. Sense 2 feels the best. Let’s try that. "Exclusively under the supervision." Yes, that works. "Alimta should exclusively be given under the supervision."

Now, let's try “solely” – "Alimta should solely be given under the supervision..." Yep, that's it!

So, coming back to the other sense: "exclusively, solely" fits the phrase. Excellent.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Given" in a Medical Context**

Okay, so the target word is "given," and the lemma is "give." The context mentions Alimta, a cancer medicine, and states it "should only be given under the supervision of a doctor..." Immediately, this screams "administering medication" to me. No ambiguity here. Now, let's see if the sense distinctions are helpful.

Ah, here it is: sense 19, `give%2:40:13::` defines "give (as medicine)" with examples like "I gave him the drug." This is a perfect match. The definition precisely captures the action being described – the act of administering Alimta, the medication, as part of a medical treatment. The examples clearly illustrate this particular sense of "give." No further investigation is needed.

**Analyzing the Word "Doctor" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the most relevant meaning of "doctor" given the surrounding text. The phrase "Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy" immediately zeroes me in on a medical context. My expertise tells me we're dealing with someone with the specific knowledge and authorization to administer chemotherapy.

Let's break down the possibilities, knowing there's usually some nuance: First, the obvious: a licensed medical practitioner, a physician. That's the primary, everyday meaning that leaps to mind, and feels like a strong contender here. Then there's the more archaic definition, "Doctor of the Church." Unlikely. Then a children's game, the game of "doctor". Extremely unlikely. Finally, the academic meaning, a person with a Ph.D. Also completely out of sync, because of the "anticancer chemotherapy" context.

Given the phrase relating to a patient's care, Sense 1, the medical practitioner, is undoubtedly the correct fit. The context leaves no room for ambiguity. It's a physician or similar medical professional with the specific qualifications to oversee chemotherapy treatment.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Use" in a Medical Context**

Okay, so the target word is "use," and the context is a doctor's qualification regarding anticancer chemotherapy. Let's break down the possible senses. We've got seven options here. The first, "the act of using," immediately grabs my attention. The definition and synonyms like "usage," "utilization," and "employment" feel right in this professional context. The examples, like "skilled in the utilization of computers" or "he warned against the use of narcotic drugs", are very illuminating, demonstrating that the word "use" in this sentence refers to employing a tool or compound for a specific application.

The other senses don't seem like good fits. "What something is used for" is too broad. "A particular service" doesn't quite apply. "The utilization of economic goods to satisfy needs or in manufacturing" is an economic definition and doesn't fit the sentence's subject. "An automatic pattern of behavior" and "exerting shrewd or devious influence" are clearly incorrect, and "the exercise of the legal right to enjoy the benefits of owning property" relates to law, not medicine.

Therefore, the first sense – "the act of using" – seems to be the only plausible interpretation given the context. My professional experience with medical terminology tells me that this is the correct sense.

**My Analysis of "Dose" in the Alimta Context**

Okay, so we're looking at "dose" in relation to Alimta, which is straightforwardly an anticancer medicine. My immediate thought, as an expert, is to zero in on the precise meaning of "dose" within this clinical context. It's crucial for understanding the treatment regimen.

The target word is clearly "dose" in the sentence "The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre...". We need to understand precisely what "dose" represents here.

I've got two candidates in my mental lexicon. The first, dose%1:06:00, defines it as "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time" – a very direct and clear definition. The second candidate, dose%1:23:00, is "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time."

While both are technically correct, I'm leaning heavily towards the first definition, dose%1:06:00. It’s far more specific to the world of medicine and the immediate context of Alimta, accurately representing a specific, measured quantity of the drug being administered. The second, while more general, might include radiation or other substances. For a treatment context, precision and specificity matter. This measured portion, I already know, is crucial for efficacy and for avoiding side-effects. So, dose%1:06:00 is the clear winner here.

**Analyzing the Unit "mg"**

Okay, so the task at hand involves interpreting the abbreviation "mg," specifically within the context of the Alimta dosage – 500 mg per square meter of body surface area. My immediate focus is on the unit of measurement. It's clear that "mg" represents a specific quantity of the drug being administered.

Therefore, the first candidate, "milligram," is the most obvious. And, yes, it’s a unit of mass, specifically one-thousandth of a gram, perfectly aligning with how medications are often measured for dosage.

The second candidate, "magnesium," while certainly a legitimate chemical element with the atomic number 12, just doesn't fit the context. The sentence is describing a dose, and magnesium wouldn’t be a measure of dose.

Thus, the clear and correct sense is that "mg" stands for "milligram." Case closed.

**Deconstructing "Body" in the Clinical Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at this phrase: "body surface area (calculated using the patient's height and weight)". My mind immediately jumps to the word "body." It's fundamental, right? We need to pinpoint the precise meaning here to avoid any ambiguity. And in this clinical context, "body" can have several senses. The most basic sense of "body" is the entire physical structure of an organism – be it animal, plant, or human. In this specific phrase, we're dealing with a human patient. Therefore, I know that sense 1, the entire physical structure of the patient, is the correct interpretation. It's the patient's physical being whose surface area is being considered. It's a fundamental part of the calculations.

Context:
Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells. Alimta is used in combination with cisplatin in patients who have not been treated before, and on its own in patients who have received another type of chemotherapy in the past. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Alimta used? Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy. The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (<t>calculated</t> using the patient s height and weight). It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes.

**My Analysis of "Calculated" in a Medical Context**

Okay, so the target word is "calculated," and it's being used in this Alimta dosage scenario. Let's break this down from my perspective. Clearly, we're not talking about anything figurative here. The context is explicitly mathematical – calculating the patient's body surface area from their height and weight to determine the appropriate dosage.

Candidate 1, with the sense key "calculate%2:31:00::", is a slam dunk. It describes exactly what's happening: "make a mathematical calculation or computation." That's spot-on. I mean, "cipher," "compute," "reckon," "figure," they all resonate perfectly within this pharmaceutical application. It's a straightforward computation, a precise determination based on specific input values. There's no room for ambiguity here; it's a direct mathematical process to find body surface area. This particular candidate is definitely the correct sense. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Using"**

Okay, the target word is "using" and the surrounding context is "calculated using the patient's height and weight." My initial read strongly suggests a sense of *employing* or *utilizing* those measurements to arrive at the BSA calculation. This immediately flags sense 1 as the most likely fit: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose...". I'm thinking, this is precisely what's happening; height and weight are being put to work in the calculation. Let's be certain.

Let's quickly rule out other senses. Sense 2, referring to drug consumption, is obviously irrelevant here. Sense 3, meaning "to use up fully", doesn't apply; the height and weight aren't being consumed. Sense 4, "to use to one's advantage (exploit)" is a complete non-sequitur in this medical context. Sense 5, "avail oneself to (practice)", doesn't work, we are not practicing the height and weight. Lastly, Sense 6, habitual action, is also unrelated. Thus, sense 1 is the definite correct interpretation of the word "using" here.

**Analyzing the Term "Patient"**

Okay, so the word "patient" is the target here, specifically within the context of "the patient's height and weight." Immediately, my brain goes to the obvious: in this medical setting, with mentions of Alimta, anticancer medicine, chemotherapy, and a doctor, the first sense is overwhelmingly the correct one. I'm thinking about a *person* receiving medical care – the classic definition.

I briefly considered if it was being used in a semantic role context, but that's a fleeting thought, frankly. Given the domain, the first candidate is the only real contender. It would be a rather outlandish misinterpretation to go in the direction of the linguistic definition.

**Analyzing "Height" in Body Surface Area Calculation**

Okay, so I'm looking at this medical text and the concept of "height" in the formula for body surface area. It's a key variable, obviously. Let's break down the possible meanings – I always start by mentally listing the definitions. We've got the general vertical dimension, a concept of an ultimate level, the stature of a standing person, and elevation above sea level. Given the context of using this in a formula along with weight, and knowing we're calculating a body surface area, I'm thinking about the patient and how that measurement will be taken. Clearly, we're dealing with a patient's physical dimensions. Considering this, the most relevant definition is the one that specifies the distance from head to foot of a standing person, sense 3. That's the one we're after. That's what needs to be entered into the equation.

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Weight"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the intended meaning of "weight" in this clinical context: "(calculated using the patient's height and weight)". My initial focus immediately zeroes in on the most likely candidate. Given the medical setting, it's pretty clear we're dealing with the literal, physical property. Thinking about it, sense 1, "weight%1:07:00:: the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity," is the obvious winner. That sense describes the precise thing needed in this case. The other senses are easily dismissed: sports equipment, relative importance, a heavy artifact, an oppressive feeling, a system of units, a unit to measure weight, and a statistical coefficient; none are germane here. The phrase clearly points to the patient's physical mass and the gravitational force exerted by that mass, which is critical for making calculations in the medical field.

**Analyzing the Use of "Given"**

Okay, so the target word is "given," and its lemma is "give." Let's dive into this sentence: "It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes." My initial impression, considering the context of medical administration, is that "given" here refers to the act of administering a drug, specifically Alimta, as an intravenous infusion.

Let's check the sense inventory. Bingo! Sense 19 immediately jumps out: `sense_key=give%2:40:13:: | definition=give (as medicine) | examples=I gave him the drug`. The definition fits like a glove. The phrase "give (as medicine)" perfectly aligns with the context of a drug being administered through an infusion. It's a textbook match, no further analysis is needed.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Once"**

Okay, so the task is to decipher "once" within this clinical context: "It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes." My mind immediately jumps to the target word and the surrounding phrases. I need to pinpoint the intended meaning here.

"Once every three weeks"... that *screams* "one occasion" within a defined interval, doesn't it? My intuition is leaning heavily towards the "on one occasion (one time)" sense. I'm almost certain that's the best fit. I quickly consider synonyms – "one time" readily comes to mind, further reinforcing this interpretation.

Let's quickly check the other candidate senses just to be thorough. "As soon as" and "at a previous time" just don't make sense in this context. They are clearly not appropriate given the repeated action every three weeks. The temporal aspect is clearly about repetition, not sequence or a single past event.

Therefore, sense 1, "on one occasion (one time)", is definitely the winner. It precisely captures the dosage regimen described. That's a solid call.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Every"**

Okay, so the target is the word "every" within the phrase "It is given once every three weeks." My mind immediately jumps to the different ways we use "every," and it's pretty clear that it has a few distinct senses. Let's break it down:

*   **Candidate 1:** I'm thinking about "each and all of the members of a group considered singly and without exception" – that's like saying "every person" or "every member of the team." It emphasizes *inclusion* of *each* item of a group.
*   **Candidate 2:** Then there's the second definition: "each and all of a series of entities or intervals as specified." This feels much more relevant here; it's like saying "every two hours" or "every other day." It denotes a repeating *frequency* or *sequential occurrence*.

Given the context, "every three weeks" is referring to a specific *interval* of time. It's not about individuals, it's about a repeating pattern. Therefore, candidate 2 is the clear and concise winner. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Weeks" in a Medical Context**

Okay, so the target term is "weeks" and it's used in the phrase "given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion." My initial thought is to consider the different senses this word could have. I'm immediately thinking of a few: a general period of seven days, a workweek (which is interesting but probably not relevant here), and then the calendar week that starts on Sunday.

Given the medical context of a dosing schedule, the correct interpretation has to be the first one: a straightforward period of seven consecutive days. The "every three weeks" schedule clearly means intervals of 21 days—three times any seven-day period. It's about the duration of time, not whether it's a calendar week or a work week. So, Sense 1 is the most precise and applicable in this scenario. This usage defines the appropriate meaning.

**My Analysis of "Infusion" in a Medical Context**

Okay, so the word is "infusion," and the specific scenario is an "intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes."  My mind immediately jumps through the possible definitions. Let's see... First, there's the general "solution obtained by steeping" - not really a good fit here. Then there's the "process of extracting" – also not the correct context. Finally, we arrive at the medical definition, and bingo!  "The passive introduction of a substance into a vein." The context of "intravenous infusion" and the time constraint of "10 minutes" makes it crystal clear this is the precise meaning. No need to consider the more abstract idea of "infusing a modifying element." It's definition number three, plain and simple.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Lasting" in Context**

Okay, here's how I'm breaking down this "lasting" question. My goal is precision, as always. The word "lasting" has surfaced, and I need to nail down the precise meaning within this specific context. The sentence I'm working with is: "It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes."

Immediately, I'm pulling up the potential senses of "lasting" in my mental dictionary. I've got two strong candidates: Sense 1 is about duration, it means something like "persist for a specified period of time" – as in, "The bad weather lasted for three days." That's the one that seems most likely so far, given the information I currently have.

Then there's Sense 2. This one has a slightly different nuance and speaks to enduring hardship or adversity – to "survive". This is probably relevant in other contexts, but I need to make sure I am correctly assessing the meaning in *this* instance.

Now, let's circle back to the sentence. We have an "intravenous infusion" and a specific time frame, "10 minutes." The infusion isn't "surviving," it's not enduring hardship. It's simply taking a specified amount of time. Therefore, sense 1 is *absolutely* the correct choice here. The word "lasting" is describing the duration of the infusion. Context is king, and in this case, the context clearly indicates the "persist for a specified period of time" definition is the winner.

Let's see... the first candidate, the sense key "minute%1:28:00::", proposes "a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour". That's spot on; it's the standard definition. Candidate 6, however, suggests "distance measured by the time taken to cover it," which is clearly irrelevant here. Therefore, the obvious and correct answer is Candidate 1. Done.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Reduce"**

Okay, so the sentence is "To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid..." My task is to nail down the precise meaning of "reduce" here. Clearly, it's about diminishing side effects, but we need to be precise.

Let's see… I have a few senses to consider. Sense 1, "cut down on; make a reduction in," seems promising. It aligns with the idea of decreasing the *amount* or *degree* of something. Sense 3, "bring to humbler or weaker state," is a possibility, but less likely in this context. Sense 8, "lessen and make more modest," is also potentially relevant.

Hmm… focusing on Sense 1, the immediate synonyms that come to mind are "cut down," "cut back," "trim," "trim down," and "cut." Let me compare "reduce side effects" to "cut down side effects," for example. Yes, definitely, that "cut down" idea fits, meaning making them less in amount or degree.

Sense 1 is the most general and fitting for "make a reduction in."

Okay, let's explore Sense 8, "lessen and make more modest." While this could apply to other contexts, it feels less directly applicable to side effects, which are usually quantified as being more or less severe, occurring more or less frequently, and the like. It's not about making side effects "modest" in the sense of quality, but rather, diminished in their impact.

Ultimately, Sense 1, the general "decrease" sense, seems to be the primary one. It captures the essential meaning of lessening the intensity, severity, or frequency of side effects, which is what we need here. I'm going with that.

Okay, here's my interpretation of these thoughts, summarized in the first person, assuming I'm the expert:

**Analyzing "Side Effects" in a Pharmaceutical Context**

Right, let's break this down. The target term is "side effects," and the context is Alimta, a drug. Immediately, I'm zeroing in on the pharmaceutical implication. While "side effects" has a broader, more general meaning, in this medical setting, particularly with a specific drug mentioned, the focus has to be on the **adverse, secondary impact of the drug itself**. That narrows us down to Sense 1: *a secondary and usually adverse effect of a drug or therapy*. Sense 2, "any adverse and unwanted secondary effect," while correct in principle, is too broad. We're dealing with Alimta here, and the discussion is obviously centered on minimizing or managing the undesirable consequences of this specific treatment. The more precise, drug-related definition is absolutely the correct choice for this particular analysis. We're concerned with the specific manifestations of drug-related adverse reactions.

**Analyzing the Term "Patients" in a Medical Context**

Okay, the task is to pinpoint the intended meaning of "patients" in this medical context, specifically within the sentence "patients should take a corticosteroid." My immediate thought is, given the medical setting, it's overwhelmingly likely that we're dealing with Sense 1: a person who is receiving or requires medical care. That's the primary, most common interpretation we'd expect.

I did, however, briefly consider Sense 2, the semantic role of "patient" as a non-agent entity in a broader linguistic sense. It is possible in some medical contexts to conceptualize something *as* a patient, perhaps a sample, or an experimental group. But given the structure of the provided sentence, where we're discussing actions that should be taken *by* the "patients", it's obvious that the person sense is correct here. This is not about the object of an action, but the subject. There really isn't any ambiguity here. It's a clear-cut case.

Okay, so the context specifically mentions "a *type* of vitamin." That immediately signals we're not dealing with the general concept of "vitamin" itself, but rather a *specific category* or subdivision within that broader category. It's crucial to pin down exactly what kind of nuance is intended.

Let's dissect those candidate senses to see which ones align with this context. The first option, a "subdivision of a particular kind of thing" (like, "what *type* of sculpture?"), clicks immediately. It's a precise fit! It directly reflects the idea of classifying or specifying a particular form within a larger group – in this case, vitamins. The other senses... a person of a specific kind, taxonomic groups, printed characters, tokens, or metal blocks just don't make sense.

Candidate 2, "any solution that is injected," is better, but still incomplete. While technically correct, it focuses on the *substance* itself, not the *action*. The context is about *receiving* something.

Then there's Candidate 3: "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe." Now *that* feels right. The phrase "receive injections" strongly suggests the patient is *getting* shots, the physical act. When we say, "He *received* an injection," it's understood he got a shot. Think "flu shot" - "The nurse gave him a flu shot." He *received* the shot. This is a common phrase. It has to be this one.

Therefore, Candidate 3 is the best fit, accurately capturing the intended meaning within this particular context.

Context:
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Alimta used? Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy. The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient s height and weight). It is given once every three weeks as an intravenous infusion lasting 10 minutes. To reduce side effects, patients should take a corticosteroid and folic acid (a type of vitamin), and receive injections of vitamin B12 during <t>treatment</t> with Alimta. When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose.

**Analyzing the Word "Treatment"**

Okay, so the word I need to define is "treatment". The context is "receive injections of vitamin B12 during treatment with Alimta," and immediately I'm thinking medical. This is clearly a medical setting; we're talking about anticancer chemotherapy. Time to evaluate the candidate definitions.

*   Candidate 1: "care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)." Bingo! That's a textbook fit. The context screams "medical procedures" aimed at relieving an illness.

*   Candidate 2: "the management of someone or something." Not quite. While there's a degree of management involved in medical care, it doesn't capture the core of the term in this situation.

*   Candidate 3: "a manner of dealing with something artistically." Nope, completely irrelevant in this medical context.

*   Candidate 4: "an extended communication." Definitely not. This definition is not even in the realm of consideration given the provided context.

Therefore, the only option that fits this context is Candidate 1. Done.
