MRI vs. MRA. An MRA, or magnetic resonance angiogram, is a type of MRI scan that uses MRI's magnetic fields and radio waves to produce pictures of blood vessels inside the body, allowing doctors to locate problems that may cause reduced blood flow.
Best Answer: Ethyl alcohol, at the concentrations used in most antibacterial preparations, kills bacteria by disrupting membranes and by denaturing proteins. Ethylalcohol is miscible in water (that is, completely soluble). But ethyl alcohol can also dissolve in the membranes of cells.
Methanol has the weakest killing power against bacteria and is seldom used in medicine. Both alcohols, ethyl and isopropyl, can kill several bacteria in 10 seconds or fewer in the lab, including Staph aureus, Strep pyogenes, E. coli, Salmonella typhosa, and Pseudomonas species, some of the bad actors in infections. For M. tuberculosis, it may take as long as five minutes of contact.
