Vioxx-maker Merck & Co. took the multibillion-dollar selling drug off the market last year when a study showed it could double risk of heart attack or stroke if taken 18 months or longer . " The spelling error ( he no doubt meant " sodomite " ) and the cautious reference to Wilde 's " pose " notwithstanding , Wilde decided to take legal action and sued Queensbury for libel . During Santanello 's earlier testimony , Lanier pointed out that Merck 's medical manual says arrhythmia in some form occurs in more than 90 percent of heart attack patients.On Thursday , Santanello told jurors Merck studied whether Vioxx caused arrhythmias in nine clinical trials before the drug went on the market in May 1999 and found " no clinically meaningful differences " in patients who took the painkiller compared to those who took other anti-inflammatory pain relievers or sugar pills.An internal Merck memo dated February 1999 said there were no clinically meaningful differences in electrocardiograms , or tests that show if heartbeats are normal , of patients who took Vioxx , a placebo or other pain relievers . He took the Romilly manuscript and knelt before the fire . Such testing led to Merck 's decision to pull Vioxx from the market last year when a study showed the drug could double risk of heart attack or stroke if taken for 18 months or longer.Reicin testified in a lawsuit over the death of Robert Ernst , a 59-year-old Texas man who died in his sleep after taking the once-popular painkiller for eight months to ease aches in his hands . " Foundation , said she was pleased by these top trends because " it shows an awareness of the need to be relevant to a community and to an audience , " other people , such as Jay Calvert , were surprised that certain audiences - - especially the Baby Boomers - - were n't identified as a major factor in shaping cultural-heritage resources . ATLANTIC CITY , N.J. ( AP ) Three years before it pulled Vioxx off the market , Merck & Co. publicly touted the safety of its arthritis drug in promotional campaigns and a news release , prompting a rebuke by federal regulators , according to documents shown to jurors Tuesday in a product liability trial over the drug.Jurors also saw excerpts of a study published by a U.S. Food and Drug Administration epidemiologist that said up to 140,000 Vioxx users suffered heart complications due to the drug while Vioxx was on the market between 1999 and 2004.The documents were shown in court on a day mainly focused on the combative cross-examination of a cardiology expert testifying for plaintiff Frederick " Mike " Humeston.Defending his opinions in a series of testy exchanges with Merck lawyer Stephen Raber , Dr. Benedict Lucchesi stood by his assertion that Vioxx — even if taken only once — could boost a person 's risk of heart attack or stroke . Attorneys are taking that kickoff to be the day Merck withdrew its $ 2.5 billion-a-year arthritis pill from the market , Sept. 30 2004.States with a one-year filing deadline include Kentucky , Louisiana and Tennessee , according to Cherry Hill lawyer Mike Ferrara , who filed 48 suits in time to make the Sept. 30 deadline.New York attorney Gary Douglas filed eight cases in New Jersey and 72 others in federal courts — which follow their states ' deadlines — under the wire.Seeger , Ferrara and Douglas said that given the huge backlog in New Jersey , Higbee — who is overseeing every New Jersey case — needs to assign some to other judges and Merck must agree to settle the bulk of them . This course will take as its animating premise that the Victorian novel did much to shape - - or temper - - the Victorian temper ; that , indeed , Victorian moods may be said to be inseparable from Victorian novels , which alternately helped to bring a range of modern affects into being ( among them boredom , nervousness , love and depression ) , and worked to initiate the analysis of affect that eventually became the modern science of psychology . Vioxx breaks down so slowly in the body that it takes about 85 hours to clear out of the blood , testified Dr. Benedict Lucchesi , a professor at the University of Michigan who helped develop the first pacemaker . It was taken in a bid to show Humeston — who had work restrictions because of a Vietnam War knee injury — was able to work more . Oleron drew down his blind , took off his coat , he then stooped to get his slippers from under the bed . Arrant , along with another of Rachelle 's former paramours , Brian Radel , would later plead guilty to murdering Rachelle 's mother , Lauri Waterman , who forbade her relationship with Arrant . However , Mayer said Merck has persuaded state judges in " a fairly large number " of such cases to transfer them to federal court , arguing the second defendant is not a bona fide target.Cases filed in Merck 's home state of New Jersey , where about half the existing cases are filed , cannot legally be moved to federal court.In Atlantic City , where Merck is wrapping up its defense against a postal worker who blames his heart attack on Vioxx , a cardiology expert on Monday said in testimony that there is no evidence someone who took Vioxx so briefly was at increased risk of a heart attack.Plaintiff Frederick Humeston , 60 , of Boise , Idaho , took the painkiller for about two months before the heart attack on Sept. 18 , 2001 . The result of a Future Search meeting is very much up to the participants , how they take the process and shape it - - sort of like how a potter takes clay and turns it . This course takes the casual absorption of Irish writing into English literary history as both inspiration and object of study . He did not know what time it was ; long since he had allowed his clock to run down - - it had seemed a foolish measure of time in regard to the stupendous things that were happening to Oleron ; but he knew it was late . Audiences in even the most fashionable theatres included members of every class , from aristocrats and financiers , to businessmen and professionals , to shopkeepers , clerks , and artisans , to servants and laborers . Harriet Ryan : An interesting take . He would n't have taken it had he known about the heart attack risk , lawyer Chris Seeger told jurors.Merck repeatedly reminded jurors that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had approved it as safe and effective on four occasions for use against different types of pain , the last a month before Merck recalled it.The company 's lawyers cited Humeston 's elevated blood pressure , weight and stress from an ongoing dispute he was having with his U.S. Postal Service bosses , saying they were to blame for his heart attack , not Vioxx.The night before the heart attack , Humeston was called by his personal physician in response to an office visit by Postal Service fraud investigators in which they showed him a secretly-recorded videotape of Humeston working on a car at his home.Merck 's expert cardiologist testified that that call was the " absolute trigger " for the heart attack.While Humeston made for a sympathetic plaintiff , he also was a relatively healthy one , appearing in court for nearly every day of testimony and taking the stand for one day.In the Texas case , the victim was a Wal-Mart produce manager who died after taking Vioxx ; his widow was the plaintiff.Merck 's lawyers also told jurors there was no scientific link between short-term Vioxx use and heart attacks . " The prosecutor said he would introduce the letters as evidence when another witness , presumably Arrant himself , takes the stand.On cross-examination , defense attorney Steven Wells suggested the letters were proof that Arrant lived in a dream world and that his client would have no reason to believe he would ever take action on her complaints.He noted that in one report on the letters " you used the word fantasize about 13 different times . She frequently takes notes , and shares them with her lawyer .
