This session will introduce the general structure and function of the biological macromolecules: lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Learning Objectives. 1  To understand the general structure and properties of lipids and phospholipids and their function in the cell.
Postherpetic neuralgia is a nerve pain due to damage caused by the varicella zoster virus. Typically, the neuralgia is confined to a dermatomic area of the skin, and follows an outbreak of herpes zoster (commonly known as shingles) in that same dermatomic area.
The signs and symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia are generally limited to the area of your skin where the shingles outbreak first occurred â most commonly in a band around your trunk, usually on one side of your body. However postherpetic neuralgia is also common in people whose shingles occurred on the face. Signs and symptoms may include: Pain that lasts 3 months or longer after the shingles rash has healed. The associated pain has been described as burning, sharp and jabbing, or deep and aching. Sensitivity to light touch.
