Abstract
A review of research on worker responses to shift work emphasizes identification of workers' problems. Theoretical analysis suggests that many shift-related problems are a function of lack of community orientation toward shift work schedules.

The selection of individuals who are most likely to develop the syndrome in the future and the proper application of the concepts and tools of various disciplines during the premorbid state will yield such information about the precise determinants in the predisposition and precipitation of duodenal ulcer as to make it unnecessary to camouflage ignorance by dogma.
