The coroner has testified that a heart attack was probably behind those conditions , but Ernst died too fast for his heart to show damage.Merck claims it acted responsibly , disclosed research and believed Vioxx to be safe until the study behind the drug 's withdrawal came up . Each , too , was regarded with suspicion for its working assumption that the trivial details , secret passions , and private struggles of everyday life may be the stuff of art , scholarship , and legitimate public interest . Two years before , at the opening of Lady Windermere 's Fan at the same theatre , Wilde , along with one of the characters in the play , had worn a green carnation , an open acknowledgement of the homosexual sub-culture to which Wilde and many of his friends belonged . Two months before , the words " a haunted house , " applied to his lovely bemusing dwelling , would have chilled his marrow ; now , his scale of sensation becoming depressed , he could ask " Haunted by what ? State District Judge Ben Hardin allowed both sides to question Araneta privately on Tuesday , and scheduled a hearing later Thursday to address whether she will testify.If the judge rules Araneta can testify , Lanier will decide whether to put her on the stand or have jurors watch her videotaped deposition.Testimony Thursday came from Dr. David Egilman , a physician and professor at Brown University , who said Merck 's multiple Vioxx studies conducted before the drug was approved in 1999 were unreliable because they were too short and involved too few patients to produce solid data . " It was just too hard to accept she could be as cold as that , " he said.He added that while " in some ways , she is a typical teenager ... If you are registered for the course you are automatically added to the listserv . It had been on that morning that Mrs. Barrett , overhearing him humming a brief phrase that the dripping of a tap the night before had suggested , had informed him that he was singing some air he had never in his life heard before , called " The Beckoning Fair One . But the company has relied heavily on the autopsy report in the Ernst case , saying no studies link Vioxx to arrhythmia so the drug could n't have caused Robert Ernst 's death.The coroner who wrote the report testified last week that Ernst more than likely died of a heart attack , but his death was too sudden for his heart to show damage.As his widow testified , at least two jurors appeared to wipe tears from their eyes when she described her life since her husband died just one month shy of their first wedding anniversary . " Four months later , the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services wrote to Merck President Raymond Gilmartin and told him the promotional campaign was misleading.The claim that Vioxx " has a ' favorable cardiovascular profile ' is simply incomprehensible , " said the letter from Thomas W. Abrams , director of the Department 's Division of Drug Marketing , Advertising and Communication , which monitors pharmaceutical advertising.Last year , after Vioxx was pulled off the market , senior FDA epidemiologist David Graham published a treatise in Lancet that said " 88,000 to 140,000 excess cases of serious coronary heart disease probably occurred in the USA over the market life of rofecoxib , " or Vioxx.When trials show that a new treatment " confers a greater risk of a serious adverse effect than a standard treatment , we must be much more careful about allowing its unrestrained use , " Graham wrote.Under cross-examination , Lucchesi — who was on the stand when the documents were presented on an overhead projector — read fine print at the bottom of the study that said the opinions were not necessarily those of the FDA.The documents swung the tenor of what started as a good day for Merck , with Lucchesi acknowledging he had misspoken on the stand earlier.He told jurors he had not reviewed a document attached to a 1997 e-mail message from a Merck scientist that he said on Friday showed Merck had tried to alter the design of an upcoming study by giving aspirin to patients on Vioxx to protect their hearts . In order to address these questions , we will necessarily have a dual focus in this course , studying what these variously re-written works meant during the nineteenth-century in order to better address their significance to late twentieth-century ideas about authorship and culture . " This do n't look as if he 'd been out much lately , " one of the inspectors uttered as he kicked aside a littler of dead leaves and papers that lay outside Oleron 's door . They file into the courtroom looking more sullen and tired than before . Because this is a course on the British novel , the reading load for this course is necessarily heavy .
