Article Abstract
This study examines contributing factors of alcohol misuse among college students in South Korea and the U.S. Exploratory factor analyses (EFA) on measurements of alcohol expectancy, alcohol efficacy, and accommodation resulted in social and personal causes for alcohol misuse. Social causes alone predicted alcohol misuse for both countries. Social factors constituted a much stronger predictor of alcohol misuse among South Korean students than among American students. Practical implications for effective deterrence of student binge drinking are discussed.

Alcohol remains the most prevalent substance, with heavy episodic and high-quantity drinking linked to serious consequences, including injuries, assaults, and deaths. Concurrent use of alcohol and cannabis, as well as other illicit drugs, further compounds risks to health, safety, and academic functioning.

Introduction: Current treatments for alcohol use disorders (AUD) have limited efficacy. A previous 28-day pilot trial of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) vs placebo found NAC to be feasible and safe, with evidence of improvement on some measures of alcohol consumption. Thus, the primary aim of the NAC-AUD study is to examine the therapeutic and cost-effectiveness of NAC vs placebo in improving treatment outcomes for AUD.

Pancreatogastric fistulas are rare but serious complications of chronic pancreatitis that can lead to life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding due to erosion of nearby blood vessels. We present a case of a 43-year-old man with chronic calcific pancreatitis and a history of alcohol misuse, who experienced recurrent hematemesis and melena over 2 months. Despite multiple endoscopies and transfusions, the bleeding source remained unidentified until imaging revealed a fistulous tract between the pancreas and the posterior gastric wall.
