Answer:
Azidothymidine
Explanation:
Azidothymidine (AZT) is one of the nucleoside analogs that is used in the treatment of AIDS as it inhibits the process of reverse transcription of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus).
The HIV replicates by making DNA copies of RNA through the process of reverse transcription. The process is driven by enzyme reverse transcriptase. Azidothymidine (AZT) serves to inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase enzyme and thereby does not allow HIV to reproduce.
Two-point discrimination is the minimal distance which someone can perceive two different stimuli that given simultaneously. An area with higher receptor density will have a lower two-point discrimination result since the distance between receptor is lower.
The area that needs a high sensitivity like the palm of the <span>hands(especially the fingertips), face</span>, and tongue should be the one with lowest two-point discrimination.
In this report, a<span>nterior forearm two-point discrimination result is the lower than the fingertip. This result is suspicious since the forearm shouldn't more sensitive than the fingertip. Fingertip two-point discrimination is around 2-6mm and forearm should be much higher than 6mm.
