Abstract

E. Jaeger published the first illustration of the glaucomatous cup. Throughout his clinical career he published multiple observations about findings in glaucoma. In his book Ueber Glaucoma he praised and advocated A. von Graefe's iridectomy but contradicted Graefe's concept of the etiology being a localized choroiditis in favor of systemic gout.

The history and evolution of radiotherapy and radiation oncology in Austria.

Austria has a longstanding and eventful history in the field of radiotherapy and radiation oncology. The founder of radiotherapy, Leopold Freund, began his well-documented first therapeutic irradiation on November 24, 1896, in Vienna. He also wrote the first textbook of radiotherapy in 1903. Further outstanding Viennese pioneers in the field of radiotherapy, radiobiology, radiation physics, and diagnostic radiology include Gottwald Schwarz, Robert Kienböck, and Guido Holzknecht. Because many of the leading Austrian radiologists had to emigrate in 1938, irreparable damage occurred at that time for the medical speciality of radiology. After World War II, the recovery in the field of radiotherapy and radiation oncology started in Austria in the early sixties. Eleven radiotherapy centers have been established since that time, and an independent society for radio-oncology, radiobiology, and medical radiophysics was founded in 1984. Finally, in March 1994, radiotherapy-radio-oncology became a separate clinical specialty.
