They found me from a little bit I did on Federal Resources for Educational Excellence, now retired *
I thought I'd resurrect this old blog to give a shoutout to AllConnect , and their article, Keeping Your Kids Safe OnLine
Thanks for sending it along, and thanks for bringing Linkin' Blog back to life !!

25 Ways Nanotechnology is Revolutionizing Medicine
25 Ways Nanotechnology is Revolutionizing Medicine
Nanotechnology is especially important to medicine because the medical field deals with things on the smallest of levels. Additionally, the small nano devices that are being developed right now can enter the body and look around in ways that large humans can only dream of. Here are 25 ways that nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine
Technology is shrinking at a rather rapid rate. As a result, more and
more advancements are taking place at the cellular, molecular and atomic
level — at the nanoscale. With scientific understanding growing, it is
becoming possible to engineer the smallest devices and applications to
help in a variety of fields. One of the fields that is likely to benefit
greatly from nanotechnology is medicine.

LEPROSY!
Leprosy has tormented humans throughout recorded history. The earliest possible account of a disease that many scholars believe is leprosy appears in an Egyptian Papyrus document written around 1550 B.C. Around 600 B.C. Indian writings describe a disease that resembles leprosy. In Europe, leprosy first appeared in the records of ancient Greece after the army of Alexander the Great came back from India and then in Rome in 62 B.C. coinciding with the return of Pompeii's troops from Asia Minor.
Leprosy in the Bible
Biblical leprosy was one of the many scourges that the Israelites believed God had inflicted upon mankind in retribution for sins committed. Bearing a mark of leprosy often meant a life of alienation because lepers were forced to live meager existences on the outskirts of civilization.
Father Damien
On 10 May, 1873, Father Damien, at his own request and with the sanction of his bishop, arrived at the settlement as its resident priest. There were then 600 lepers. "As long as the lepers can care for themselves", wrote the superintendent of the board of health to Bishop Maigret, "they are comparatively comfortable, but as soon as the dreadful disease renders them helpless, it would seem that even demons themselves would pity their condition and hasten their death."
Leprosy Today
On 10 May, 1873, Father Damien, at his own request and with the
sanction of his bishop, arrived at the settlement as its resident priest. There were then 600 lepers. "As long as the lepers can care for themselves", wrote the superintendent of the board of health to Bishop Maigret, "they are comparatively comfortable, but as soon as the dreadful disease renders them helpless, it would seem that even demons themselves would pity their condition and hasten their death."
WHO is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for providing leadership
on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends.
Today, the diagnosis and treatment of leprosy is easy and most endemic countries are striving to fully integrate leprosy services into existing general health services. This is especially important for those under-served and marginalised communities most at risk from leprosy, often the poorest of the poor.
The Entwined Destinies of Mankind and Leprosy
We have not yet heard the last from Mycobacterium leprae, but public health politics, spurred on by work done by the likes of Stewart Cole and his scientific team, could put an end to the common history between leprosy and its unwilling human host.
