AEDs Arrive. Around 1980, the AED (automated external defibrillator) debuted. The 'automated' part is what is really exciting. Now people with only minimal training can successfully revive VF victims in the field, even before Emergency Medical Services personnel arrive.
Sensitivity has many shades of meaning but most relate to your response to your environment â either physical or emotional. Sensitivity to cold means youâre quick to notice the slightest chill â in the air or in another personâs actions. A sensitivity to pollen means youâre sneezing any time itâs in the air â you just always seem to react to it. Itâs the same with emotions â sensitivity means you pick up on the feelings of others.

When youâre stressed out, youâre more likely to get a cold, Estores says. Usually when you feel a cold coming on, your immune system jumps in and fights the virus. But too much stress cuts the number of cells that make up the front lines of defense. Stress also pumps up the level of cortisol in your body. This hormone zaps your immune system, and that makes you a prime target for a cold.
