What's the difference between perspiration and perspire?

Perspiration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of perspiring.
  • (n.) That which is excreted through the skin; sweat.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In addition, the postulated personality for PD may predispose to hard work, perspiration, and increased exposure to putative trace elements in the water supply.
  • (2) Results obtained using all the inhibition methods on secretor saliva, semen, urine, urine stain, and perspiration stain specimens show that the new technique is especially powerful in correctly determining the ABH antigens in secretor body fluids having lower concentrations of soluble blood group antigens.
  • (3) Compared with visualization methods for perspiration fingerprints, this method recovers better images for a longer time after the fingerprint has been deposited on skin.
  • (4) Using newly developed equipment for continuous recording of local perspiration volume, we have tried to standardize the measurement of perspiration volume and evaluate it.
  • (5) The perspiration samples were collected under normal physiological conditions for 8 h after medication and urine samples were collected 8 h after medication.
  • (6) All the patients referred fever and local pain, with functional impotence in 26 (93%), general involvement, shivering and perspiration in 24 (86%).
  • (7) The voracious hunger and profuse perspiration were reduced, the patient's serum lipids became normal, her blood glucose fell, and her sensitivity to exogenous insulin increased.
  • (8) The losses included Ca and Na in exfoliated skin cells as well as in insensible perspiration.
  • (9) Other clinical improvements, such as diminution or complete disappearance of swelling of soft tissues, excessive perspiration, and headache, were observed in 7 of 8 patients.
  • (10) Of the 33 symptom complex patients, 5 had Atropine, most of whose heart rates returned to normal after 2 seconds to 2 minutes, as did their dizziness, perspiration, and ashen coloring.
  • (11) The cutaneous insensible perspiration of adult healthy volunteers was measured by a new method based on estimation of the vapour pressure gradient in the air layer immediately adjacent to skin.
  • (12) The results revealed: 1) The measurement of local perspiration volume with this equipment provides objective data useful for the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis and hypo-(or an-) hidrosis and for the judgement of its grade; 2) in case of palmar hyperhidrosis, mental stimuli most strongly induced perspiration; and 3) the responses to mental arithmetic or hand grasping and the base-line stable time are reliable parameters for measurement of perspiration volume.
  • (13) Lawyers in the court blew on their perspiring hands as the magistrate read the arguments.
  • (14) Attention is called to the similarity of the clinical manifestations with its onset in the first year of life, deficient body weight and growth, progressing neurological disturbances (weakening of muscle power, tremor, ataxia, nystagmus), course with periods of exacerbations, tachypnoea, skin changes (hirsutism, telangiectasia, perspiration), death at the age of 2-3 years.
  • (15) Cetirizine inhibited all the specific skin modifications induced by histamine challenge, wheals, flares and increased thickness, without affecting the methacholine-induced perspiration.
  • (16) It is shown that the water flow density through SC controlling the evaporation rate from the skin surface in the process of insensible perspiration depends upon the skin capillary pressure.
  • (17) After 90 minutes of unremitting toil, perspiration and scant regard for loftier reputations, blame was starting to be apportioned.
  • (18) One subject displayed a remarkable increase in perspiration on the sole of the foot together with a great increase in SSA.
  • (19) A chunky piece of ugly technology, the sobriety bracelet is used to detect even a smidgen of alcohol in the perspiration of its wearer, from whom readings are sent twice a day in order to monitor their abstinence.
  • (20) A method is described for determining the concentration of volatile substances that are excreted through the skin via insensible perspiration.

Perspire


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To excrete matter through the skin; esp., to excrete fluids through the pores of the skin; to sweat.
  • (v. i.) To be evacuated or excreted, or to exude, through the pores of the skin; as, a fluid perspires.
  • (v. t.) To emit or evacuate through the pores of the skin; to sweat; to excrete through pores.
