Context:
The tablets are pale-orange and have a score line on both sides so that they can be halved. Each tablet is marked with the Pfizer logo on one side and with the letters MPT and the quantity of maropitant on the other side. What is Cerenia used for? Cerenia is an anti-emetic, this means that it stops vomiting. It is used in dogs to prevent vomiting such as vomiting caused by chemotherapy (medicines used for the treatment of cancer, some of which are known to cause vomiting). In combination with supportive measures such as other veterinary treatment or a <t>special</t> diet, Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets). For these purposes, Cerenia can be given for up to five days

The user wants me to choose the best sense for "special" in the context of "a special diet" used in combination with veterinary treatment. Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. "unique or specific to a person or thing or category" - particular, peculiar
2. "for a special service or occasion" - special correspondent, special adviser
3. "surpassing what is common or usual or expected" - exceptional
4. "adapted to or reserved for a particular purpose" - "a special kind of paint; a special medication for arthritis"
5. "having a specific function or scope" - limited
6. "first and most important" - primary
7. "added to a regular schedule" - extra, unscheduled

A "special diet" in a veterinary/medical context refers to a diet adapted or reserved for a particular therapeutic purpose - this aligns well with sense 4, which talks about something "adapted to or reserved for a particular purpose" with examples like "a special medication for arthritis" which is very analogous to "a special diet" for a sick animal.

Sense 4 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The context is about veterinary medicine for dogs - Cerenia is an anti-emetic used to prevent vomiting. The text mentions "supportive measures such as other veterinary treatment or a special diet" in the context of treating vomiting in dogs.

The word "diet" here refers to a special food regimen prescribed to help with the dog's condition. This is a prescribed selection of foods for a medical purpose.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a prescribed selection of foods" - This fits well as it's a "special diet" recommended as supportive treatment
2. Legislative assembly - doesn't fit
3. "the usual food and drink consumed by an organism" - this is more about regular/normal food consumption
4. "the act of restricting your food intake" - this is about dieting for weight loss

The best fit is sense 1 - "a prescribed selection of foods" since the context describes a "special diet" as a supportive measure in veterinary treatment.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Cerenia, a medication for dogs that can be given as an injection or as tablets. The sentence says "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets." This is referring to the method of administration - the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe, or possibly the solution itself.

Looking at the context: "in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)" - this is discussing the form/method of administering the drug. It could refer to either the act of injecting or the injectable solution itself.

Sense 1: "the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure" - this is more about the physical act/mechanism
Sense 2: "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)" - this refers to the substance/solution
Sense 3: "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe" - this is the act of injecting

In medical/pharmaceutical context, "as injection" typically refers to the method of administration - the act of injecting. However, it could also mean "as an injectable solution."

The phrase "as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - here "injection" is contrasted with "tablets," which are forms of medication. So "injection" here likely refers to the injectable form/solution (sense 2) rather than the act of injecting (sense 3). Because when you say "as tablets," you mean in tablet form, so "as injection" would mean in injectable form (the solution that is injected).

Wait, but "injection" can refer to both. Let me think more carefully. "Either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - this is saying you can give it as an injection, or as an injection followed by tablets. So "injection" here is a form of administration/method.

Actually, in pharmaceutical contexts, "injection" as a form of medication refers to the injectable preparation. Sense 2 says "any solution that is injected" which fits this usage. But sense 3 is about the act.

Looking at the contrast with "tablets" - tablets are a dosage form, not an act. So injection here is being used as a dosage form, which aligns with sense 2 (the solution/substance).

However, sense 1 is "the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure" which is more of a mechanical/technical definition.

Between sense 2 and sense 3: The context uses "injection" as a noun referring to a form of medication administration, parallel to "tablets." This is more aligned with the substance/form (sense 2) - the injectable solution.

Actually, re-reading: "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - in medical prescribing, "as injection" means given by injection (the method), while the actual product is the injectable solution. But when listing administration routes, we say "by injection" or "as an injection."

I think sense 3 (the act) is more appropriate here because it's describing the method of administration. But sense 2 (the solution) also works because it refers to the dosage form.

Hmm, let me look at the examples more carefully. Sense 3 has the example "the nurse gave him a flu shot" - this is the act of giving an injection.

In the context "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - this is describing how the drug is administered. The word "as" suggests it's the method/form. I think this is closer to sense 2 (the injectable form/solution) because in pharmaceutical contexts, when we say a drug is available "as injection" or "as tablets," we're talking about the dosage form.

Actually, "injection" as a dosage form is the solution that is injected. So sense 2 fits.

But wait - sense 1 "the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure" is also relevant. This is more specific to the mechanical process.

Let me decide: The context is about pharmaceutical forms. "Injection" here refers to the method of administering the drug via syringe, which is sense 3 (the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe).

Actually, I think I need to reconsider. In the sentence "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - "injection" is being used as a noun meaning the procedure/method. When you say "give as injection" it means give via injection. This is the act.

But "injection" can also mean the injectable solution itself (sense 2).

Given the parallel with "tablets" (which are solid dosage forms), "injection" likely refers to the liquid dosage form - the solution. This points to sense 2.

However, looking at typical WordNet usage and the definitions:
- Sense 2: the solution/substance
- Sense 3: the act

In the phrase "available as injection," it typically means available in injectable form (the solution). So sense 2.

But actually, re-reading the context one more time: "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)"

This is saying: for treatment, it can be given as an injection, or as an injection followed by tablets. Here "injection" is the method of administration.

In medical English, "give as injection" or "administer as injection" means the act of injecting. But the phrase "available as injection" refers to the dosage form.

I think this is ambiguous, but I'll go with sense 3 (the act) because the sentence is about the treatment regimen - what is done (injection) vs. what is done (injection + tablets).

Wait, no. Let me think about this differently. The question is about WordNet sense disambiguation.

Sense 2: "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)" - synonym: injectant
Sense 3: "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe" - synonym: shot

The word "injection" in the context "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" is parallel to "tablets." Tablets are things (dosage forms). So injection here is also a thing - the injectable preparation. This is sense 2.

But one could also argue that "injection" here means the act of injecting, and the contrast is between "act of injecting" and "act of injecting followed by taking tablets."

Hmm, in pharmaceutical contexts, drugs are described as being "for injection" or "as an injection" meaning they come in a form suitable for injection (the solution). This is sense 2.

I'll go with sense 2.

Actually, let me reconsider once more. The full phrase is: "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets"

If "injection" means the solution (sense 2), then it would be: "either as [the injectable solution] or as [the injectable solution] followed by tablets"
If "injection" means the act (sense 3), then it would be: "either as [an injection procedure] or as [an injection procedure] followed by tablets"

Both make sense. But the contrast with "tablets" (a physical form) suggests "injection" is also a physical form - the liquid form. This is sense 2.

Final answer: sense 2.

Wait, I want to double-check sense 1 vs sense 2 vs sense 3.

Sense 1: "the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure" - this is very specific to the mechanism (forceful, under pressure). This doesn't fit well with the general medical usage here.

Sense 2: "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)" - this is the solution/dosage form.

Sense 3: "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe" - this is the act/procedure.

In the context, "injection" is used as a noun describing a form of treatment/administration. In medical English, when we say a drug is given "as an injection" or "by injection," we typically mean the method. But the drug itself in its injectable form is "an injection" (sense 2).

The sentence structure: "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets"
- Option A: "either as [an injection - the act] or as [an injection - the act] followed by tablets" → this would mean: either by giving an injection, or by giving an injection then tablets
- Option B: "either as [an injection - the solution] or as [an injection - the solution] followed by tablets" → this would mean: either in injectable form, or in injectable form followed by tablets

Option B is more natural in pharmaceutical writing. You wouldn't typically say "give as injection followed by tablets" to mean the act; you'd say "give by injection followed by tablets" or "start with injection then switch to tablets."

Actually, in the original text: "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - this is describing the treatment regimen. It could be rewritten as "either as an injection or as an injection followed by tablets."

In clinical guidelines, this is standard phrasing. "Injection" here is shorthand for "injection formulation" or "injectable form." This is sense 2.

But also, in some interpretations, it means the procedure.

I'm going to go with sense 2 because:
1. The parallel with "tablets" (a dosage form) suggests injection is also a dosage form
2. The phrase "as injection" in pharmaceutical contexts typically refers to the dosage form
3. Sense 2 specifically mentions "any solution that is injected" which matches the pharmaceutical usage

Final answer: sense_index 2.

Hmm, but actually I realize I should look at this more carefully. The example for sense 3 is "the nurse gave him a flu shot" - this is the act of administering.

In our context: "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - if we interpret "injection" as the act, then we're talking about the procedure. The phrase "as injection" means "in the form of an injection" which could mean either the procedure or the product.

I think the most natural reading is that "injection" refers to the method of administration (the act), sense 3. When you say "give a drug as an injection," you mean administer it via injection.

But the dosage form interpretation (sense 2) is also valid.

Let me look at the definitions one more time:
- Sense 2: any solution that is injected (as into the skin) - the solution
- Sense 3: the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe - the act

In British/medical English, "as an injection" typically means via the route of injection (the act). For example, "the drug is available as an injection" means it comes in an injectable form (the solution) OR it can be given by injection (the act).

The Wikipedia-style text here is describing the treatment regimen. "Either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" - this is about how the treatment is given.

I think sense 3 (the act) is the best fit because the sentence is about the treatment regimen - what is done. The treatment is given by injection, or by injection followed by tablets.

But I could be wrong. Let me think about which sense is more commonly indexed for this usage.

Actually, in WordNet, sense 3 is the most common/general sense for "injection" in medical contexts - the act of injecting. Sense 2 is more specific to the solution.

Given that the context is about the procedure/method of treatment, I'll go with sense 3.

No wait. Let me re-read: "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)."

This is saying Cerenia can be used:
1. As injection (just the injection)
2. As injection followed by tablets (injection, then tablets)

This is describing the treatment course. "Injection" here is a noun referring to the administration of the drug via injection.

If we use sense 2 (the solution): "either as [the injectable solution] or as [the injectable solution] followed by tablets" - this means either give the injectable form, or give the injectable form then switch to tablets. This makes sense.

If we use sense 3 (the act): "either as [an injection procedure] or as [an injection procedure] followed by tablets" - this means either perform an injection, or perform an injection then give tablets. This also makes sense.

I think in this context, sense 2 is more appropriate because:
- The contrast with "tablets" (a physical dosage form) suggests injection is also a physical form
- Pharmaceutical literature typically refers to dosage forms in this way

Final answer: sense 2.

OK I'm going to commit to sense 2.

Context:
The tablets are pale-orange and have a score line on both sides so that they can be halved. Each tablet is marked with the Pfizer logo on one side and with the letters MPT and the quantity of maropitant on the other side. What is Cerenia used for? Cerenia is an anti-emetic, this means that it stops vomiting. It is used in dogs to prevent vomiting such as vomiting caused by chemotherapy (medicines used for the treatment of cancer, some of which are known to cause vomiting). In combination with supportive measures such as other veterinary treatment or a special diet, Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as <t>injection</t> followed by tablets). For these purposes, Cerenia can be given for up to five days

reasoning_content:
The context discusses Cerenia, an anti-emetic for dogs. The relevant sentence is: "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)."

Here, "injection" refers to the method of administration - the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe. This matches sense 3 (injection%1:04:01::), which is defined as "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe" with synonyms like "shot."

Sense 1 is about forceful insertion of a substance under pressure, which is more general.
Sense 2 is about the solution itself that is injected.
Sense 3 is about the act of injecting, which fits the context of describing a method of administration (injection vs. tablets).

The context is clearly about the method/act of administering the drug via syringe, so sense 3 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word "studies" appears in the context: "A large number of <t>studies</t> with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA."

This refers to research studies/investigations conducted with the drug Cerenia. The sense that best matches is the one about a written document describing findings of some individual or group (sense 3), as studies in this context are research investigations that would produce reports/findings. The synonyms "report, written report" and the example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" fit well here.

Sense 1 (detailed critical inspection / survey) could also be a candidate, but sense 3 with "written document describing the findings" is the most natural fit for "studies were carried out" in a scientific/medical context.

reasoning_content:
The target is "carried out" in the context of "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients..."

This means the studies were conducted/performed/executed.

Sense 1: "put in effect" with synonyms like accomplish, execute, fulfill - examples like "carry out a task"
Sense 2: "pursue to a conclusion or bring to a successful issue" with synonyms like follow through, implement - examples like "Did he go through with the treatment?"

"Studies were carried out" means the studies were conducted/performed. This aligns with sense 1 (put in effect, execute, accomplish). When we say studies are "carried out," we mean they are performed/executed.

Sense 1 fits better - "carry out a task" is very similar to "carry out a study."

reasoning_content:
The target word is "laboratory" in the context: "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA."

Here, "laboratory dogs" refers to dogs that are kept in a laboratory setting for scientific research purposes. The context is about scientific studies of the drug Cerenia, and "laboratory dogs" are dogs in a research lab setting.

Sense 1: "a workplace for the conduct of scientific research" - This fits well. Laboratory dogs would be dogs used in a research laboratory.

Sense 2: "a region resembling a laboratory inasmuch as it offers opportunities for observation and practice and experimentation" - This is more metaphorical, referring to a place/region that serves as a "testing ground" for ideas. The examples talk about nations or regions as "laboratories" for social theories. This doesn't fit as well because we're talking about actual laboratory dogs in a research setting.

The best sense is Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?"

Here, "shown" means "demonstrated" or "revealed through evidence." The studies demonstrated/revealed certain benefits. This is about providing evidence or proving something through the studies.

Looking at the candidates:
- Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" - synonyms: prove, demonstrate, establish
- Sense 3: "provide evidence for" - synonyms: testify, bear witness, prove, evidence
- Sense 10: "give evidence of, as of records" - example: "The diary shows his distress that evening"

The question is asking what benefit was demonstrated/revealed during studies. This is about showing/demonstrating results.

Sense 2 focuses on establishing validity through experiment - this fits well since the studies are experimental.
Sense 3 focuses on providing evidence.
Sense 10 is about giving evidence of, as of records.

"What benefit has Cerenia shown" - the studies have demonstrated/revealed a benefit. This is about revealing or making evident something through research/studies.

Sense 3 "provide evidence for" with the example "The blood test showed that he was the father" seems very close - the studies provided evidence of benefit.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2 is about establishing validity through experiment, which fits the context of "during the studies" very well. The studies are the experiment, and they demonstrated/established the benefit.

But sense 3 also fits: "provide evidence for" - the studies provided evidence of Cerenia's benefits.

I think sense 3 is the best fit because it's about providing evidence (through studies) of the benefit. The example "The blood test showed that he was the father" parallels "The studies showed that Cerenia was more effective."

Wait, the next sentence uses "showed" again: "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo" - this seems more like sense 3 (provide evidence for).

For the target "shown" in "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?" - this is asking what evidence/benefit was demonstrated. Sense 3 seems most appropriate.

Actually, let me reconsider. "What benefit has Cerenia shown" - Cerenia has demonstrated/displayed a benefit. This could be sense 2 (demonstrate through experiment) or sense 3 (provide evidence).

I'll go with sense 3 as it best matches the context of providing evidence through studies.

The word "studies" in context refers to research studies conducted with Cerenia - "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out" and "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo." These are research investigations, which align with the sense of a written document/report describing findings, or more precisely, the research itself.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 3: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" - synonyms: report, written report
- Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" - synonyms: survey
- Sense 6: "a branch of knowledge"

In medical/scientific context, "studies" typically refers to research investigations. Sense 3 fits best because the studies are investigations with findings/results. The example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" matches this usage well.

The target word is "results" in the context: "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo..."

This refers to the outcomes/findings of the studies. Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. result%1:19:00:: - "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - synonyms: consequence, effect, outcome, event, upshot
2. result%1:10:00:: - "a statement that solves a problem" - synonyms: solution, answer, resolution
3. result%1:11:00:: - "something that results" - synonyms: resultant, final result, outcome, termination - example: "he listened for the results on the radio"
4. result%1:10:01:: - semantic role - not relevant here

The context is about the findings/outcomes of studies. Sense 1 talks about a phenomenon caused by a previous phenomenon (consequence, effect). Sense 3 talks about "something that results" with the example "he listened for the results on the radio" which is similar to "the results of the studies."

Sense 3 seems most fitting because "results of the studies" refers to the findings/outcomes that the studies produced. The example "he listened for the results on the radio" is very similar in structure to "the results of the studies showed..."

Sense 1 is about a causal phenomenon (consequence, effect), which is more about cause-and-effect relationships. Sense 3 is more about the output/findings of a process, which fits better with "results of studies."

I'll go with sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context is about scientific studies/trials with Cerenia. "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out..." and "The results of the studies showed that..." This refers to research investigations/trials. The best fit is sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" (study as an investigation/research project) or sense 3: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" (report, written report).

The studies here are clinical trials/investigations that produced results. While sense 1 (survey/inspection) could work, sense 3 is more specifically about a written document describing findings. However, the studies here are the investigations themselves, not necessarily the written reports. "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out" - these are research investigations.

Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully, sense 1 (study%1:04:00) is defined as "a detailed critical inspection" with synonym "survey". This is closer to a research investigation/trial.

Sense 3 is "a written document describing the findings" - this is more about a paper/report.

The context discusses studies that were "carried out" and whose "results" showed something. This is about the research investigations themselves. Sense 1 fits best as it represents a research study/investigation.

Wait, let me reconsider. In WordNet, "study" as a research investigation is typically:
- study%1:04:00:: - "a detailed critical inspection" - this could be the research investigation sense

Actually, looking at typical WordNet sense for "study" meaning a research project/investigation, it would be under the noun senses related to examination or research. Sense 1 with "detailed critical inspection" and synonym "survey" seems closest to the research investigation meaning.

I'll go with sense 1.
