What's the difference between imperceptible and unsensible?

Imperceptible


Definition:

  • (a.) Not perceptible; not to be apprehended or cognized by the souses; not discernible by the mind; not easily apprehended.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) The chronic persistent hepatitis, however, may develop through clinically imperceptible changes into a chronic aggressive hepatitis, and the inapparent acute hepatitis can even pass over directly into cirrhosis.
  • (6) The cancerolytic effect of active systemic immunotherapy, which has been shown experimentally able to eradicate a complete population of tumour cells provided they are not very numerous, has been confirmed in various forms of human leukemia and in a few solid tumours against which it was applied as treatment of the imperceptible residual disease which remains after chemotherapy or surgery.
  • (7) After a visit to the camp in 1966, Joan Didion described Sandperl as a man who looked as if he had, "all his life, followed some imperceptibly but fatally askew rainbow" and the institute as naive.
  • (8) Disadvantages of this technique are the external incision across the columella, which leaves an imperceptible scar of no clinical significance, and postoperative nasal tip edema, which resolves with time.
  • (9) Timing measures were obtained from subjects instructed to tap a Morse key in synchrony with a metronome which marked a timing pattern consisting of alternating blocks of intervals of imperceptibly different duration.
  • (10) He was 36 yards out but his hard, flat shot fizzed past a poorly positioned wall, seeming to swish slightly, almost imperceptibly right then left then right again, like the tailfin of a dolphin.
  • (11) Early radiologic signs of the hematoma consisted of obliteration of the aortic silhouette on the anteroposterior view and the left primary sulcus on the lateral film by a convex expanding homogenous density whose medial border blended imperceptibly with the mediastinal shadow.
  • (12) With little hope, he pressed on with his appeals and, almost imperceptibly at first, fortune's wheel began to turn.
  • (13) The remarkable sensitivity of the liver to small changes in glycemia implies that the normal coupling of the exercise-induced increase in Ra to glucose utilization may be signaled by small, nearly imperceptible changes in glucose.
  • (14) Berry mustered only five more points; and almost imperceptibly, Villanova seized control, soaring to a 10 point lead inside the last five minutes.
  • (15) It was established that all forms of ischaemic heart disease are accompanied by a significant potassium deficit imperceptible for blood and urine examinations of their electrolyte composition.
  • (16) Additionally, scattered cells showing a signet ring configuration were present, and in two cases, focal areas displaying chondromyxoid elements were also seen that appeared to merge imperceptibly with the surrounding spindle cell population.
  • (17) Pregnancy rates (highest among younger age and low parity groups) were influenced significantly and almost equally by age and parity but imperceptibly by ethnic origin.
  • (18) However, after incubation with hyaluronidase followed by staining with Lycramine brilliant blue JL, staining of megakaryocyte cytoplasm was either imperceptible or very pale blue.
  • (19) Another alternative way consists in the reinforcement of conditioning aiming both at the elimination of residual immunocompetent cells and at a more efficient action upon the imperceptible tumoral mass.
  • (20) An initially slow start vindicated their decision but, almost imperceptibly, the entertainment value rose.

Unsensible


Definition:

  • (a.) Insensible.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A P-wave that falls within the total atrial refractory interval (TARI) remains unsensed and one that falls beyond the TARI is sensed.
  • (2) This form of upper rate behavior eliminated the longer cycle (containing the unsensed P wave) that occurs at the end of the pacemaker Wenckebach sequence during traditional DDD pacing with ventricular-based lower rate timing.
  • (3) The presence of two consecutively unsensed beats within one timing cycle (automatic or escape interval) during tachycardia suggests normal function of the noise sampling period of this particular pulse generator, rather than a true sensing problem.
  • (4) The tachycardia was initiated by the coincidence of an unsensed P-wave, a QRS that was also not sensed due to the ventricular blanking period, and a short right ventricular myocardial effective refractory period.
  • (5) Every fixed-rate cycle contained two unsensed beats.
  • (6) In this form of VA synchrony, the atrial stimulus is ineffectual because it falls in the atrial myocardial refractory period generated by the preceding unsensed retrograde P wave.
  • (7) This occurs when a paced ventricular beat engenders an unsensed retrograde P wave and the continual delivery of an ineffectual atrial stimulus during the atrial myocardial refractory period creates self-perpetuating VA synchrony.
  • (8) For what it's worth, I don't personally think homosexuality (or any other subject) should be aggressively promoted in schools, but I do think it should be talked about in an informative, unsensational, way.
  • (9) Figures 1, 2 and 3 show examples of competitive rhythms without heart stimulation and unsensed beats by abnormally long programmed SW values.
  • (10) In addition, chest wall stimulation may be invaluable in the termination of reentry tachycardia which is unsensed by an implanted pulse generator either because the rate is too slow, or below the rate detection criterion, or because the intracardiac signal does not attain the sensitivity of the pulse generator.
