Using Behavior Change Techniques to Guide Selections of Mobile Applications to Promote Fluid Consumption.

Objective: To determine the extent to which validated techniques for behavior change have been infused in commercially available fluid consumption applications (apps).

Materials And Methods: Coders evaluated behavior change techniques represented in online descriptions for 50 fluid consumption apps and the latest version of each app.

Results: Apps incorporated a limited range of behavior change techniques (<20% of taxonomy).

First case report of catheter-related bacteremia due to "Mycobacterium lacticola".

This is the first report of infection caused by "Mycobacterium lacticola," a rapidly growing, scotochromogenic mycobacterium that was isolated from the blood of an immunosuppressed child. The organism was identified by sequence analysis of >1,400 bp of the 16S rRNA gene. The clinical relevance of this isolate, coupled with its unique 16S rRNA gene sequence, should prompt further investigation to establish this organism as a valid mycobacterial species.

Burkitt lymphoma presenting as a conjunctival mass.

Purpose: A sporadic Burkitt lymphoma, which presented as a primary conjunctival mass, demonstrates the approach to clinical diagnosis, staging, and current management of this rapidly growing malignant tumor, as well as newer concepts of its pathogenesis.

Patient And Methods: A 16-year-old girl had rapid development of a conjunctival mass 6 weeks after an infectious mononucleosis-like illness, associated with a positive monospot test. A biopsy of the tumor was immunostained for lymphocyte markers.
