The management of postherpetic neuralgia [PDF]
Summary Postherpetic neuralgia is defined as pain persisting, or recurring, at the site of shingles at least three months after the onset of the acute rash. Thus defined, at least half of shingles sufferers over the age of 65 years develop postherpetic neuralgia. In addition to increasing age, less important risk factors for postherpetic

MicroRNA And Circular RNA Expression In Affected Skin Of Patients With Postherpetic Neuralgia
Mechanisms of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) are still not clear. Transcripts such as microRNA (miRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) in the affected skin may take part in the initiation and development of this neuropathic pain; however, their expression ...

Solanum lycopersicum had the highest (3.36024 μg/mL), whereas Capsicum annuum (0.31824 μg/mL) had the lowest lycopene concentration. S. lycopersicum lycopene showed the highest UV‐ray blocking efficiency, inhibiting 99.75% of UV rays after 72 hours. Lycopene shows significant potential as a UV protectant in bacterial cultures, suggesting it could be ...
