Using urine culture as the standard, pyuria on microscopy showed a sensitivity of 43.6% and a specificity of 93.5% for predicting symptomatic UTI. The prevalence of UTI among pregnant women with urinary tract symptoms was low, and the most common isolate was coliform bacilli. Though pyuria had reasonably good accuracy for diagnosing symptomatic UTI, it should not be used for this purpose because of the risks associated with misdiagnosis.

To determine the blood supply of the distal femoral epiphysis (DFE) using superb microvascular imaging in newborns and infants, and to investigate the correlation with ossification center (OC) length, gender and age. A total of 140 cases were evaluated in this study. The cases were divided into 2 groups of less than 90 days and over than 90 days. Cartilage blood supply was measured with vascularity index (%) (VI). The mean OC length and median VI values were measured as 10.20±3.72 mm and 0.80% (0.58-1.50) for boys and 10.03±3.36 mm and 0.70 % (0.30-1.40) for girls, respectively. There was no significant difference in OC length and VI between genders. The mean OC length in Group II was significantly higher than in Group I (12.14±3.14 vs 8.09± 2.64) (p < 0.001). The median VI in Group I was higher than the cases in Group II (1.40% vs 0.40%) (p<0.001). There were positive correlations between age and OC length (r=0.716), negative correlations between age and VI (r=-0.822), and between VI and OC length (r=-0.657). Quantitative reference values for DFE blood supply and OC length can guide the diagnosis and follow-up of many skeletal diseases. Quantitative reference
