In contrast, in the film he’s made out to be a man who feels disappointed with his humdrum work, morally cracking, and only in hindsight he sees he should not have gotten involved with Phyllis Dietrichson. Walter in the book is portrayed as a man who is already a criminal by inclination and an acute sociopath. Double Indemnity was filmed in 1944, directed by Billy Wilder and starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Cain wrote the emblematic novel Double Indemnity, which was published in 1943 in the volume Three of a Kind (the story originally appeared as an eight-part serial in Liberty magazine in 1936).

Dilemma also exists about the cut-off of ET in both symptomatic and asymptomatic women on HRT and Tamoxifen. However, the cut-off value of ET in asymptomatic postmenopausal women beyond which intervention is required, is still debated. In post-menopausal women with bleeding, the cut-off of ET that warrants investigation is almost defined. Dilemma does remain as to the thickness of endometrium which requires intervention, mostly in symptomatic pre and perimenopausal women. Thickened endometrium is always a clinical conundrum. The initial best modality of assessing ET or aberration is high resolution transvaginal ultrasonogram. Abundance of oestrogen leads to endometrial hyperplasia, and paucity causes endometrial atrophy. The endometrial thickness (ET) varies according to the phases of the menstrual cycle.Įndometrium contains both oestrogen and progesterone receptors, which respond to above hormones, irrespective of whether the woman is in reproductive or menopausal phase. It undergoes cyclical change regulated by the fine balance between oestrogen and progesterone. ![]() The endometrium is a dynamic target organ in a woman’s reproductive life. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The City is committed to a speedy and smooth resolution to redistricting and to a clear and transparent election process." ![]() Potential candidates should continue to file nomination papers at the Boston Elections Department," said spokesperson Ricardo Patrón.

The book, "No Fist is Big Enough to Hide the Sky: The Liberation of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, 1963-74" (1969, with additions in 1981) by Basil Davidson, offers insight into the struggle against Portuguese colonialism, and anti-colonial struggles generally.
