This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out to determine the frequency of frailty in patients on haemodialysis and to identify predictive clinical parameters. Patients were selected using convenience sampling. Exclusion criteria included acute kidney injury, non-compliance to hemodialysis, limited physical mobility due to cerebrovascular or rheumatological diseases, acute infections and unwillingness. ⋯ On univariate analysis, increasing age, female gender, triceps skin fold thickness and hand grip strength were predictive of frailty. However, only increasing age (p<0.001) was predictive of frailty in multivariate analysis. Key Words: Haemodialysis, Physical performance, Renal replacement therapy.

Case ReportsImportance of Susceptibility-weighted-imaging in Methanol Toxicity.
Methanol poisoning is a rare but potentially lethal condition. Haemorrhagic necrosis of bilateral basal ganglia, particularly of the putamen, is one of the distinctive features of this entity. One of the proposed responsible mechanisms for putaminal haemorrhagic necrosis due to methanol toxicity is inadequate venous drainage of this region. ⋯ Also, congested and dilated venous structures were detected in SWI, which may be an indirect sign of inadequate venous drainage of this region. We intend to present the cerebral SWI features of a patient with fulminant methanol toxicity in order to clarify the underlying physiopathology of the brain damage, which has not yet been presented in the literature to the best of our knowledge. Key Words: Methanol, Toxic encephalopathy, Magnetic resonance imaging, Cerebral haemorrhage.
