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.
Certain anti-seizure medications, including gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise) and pregabalin (Lyrica), can lessen the pain of postherpetic neuralgia. These medications stabilize abnormal electrical activity in your nervous system caused by injured nerves.
