Although much has been written about the cardiovascular abnormalities present in Eisenmenger's syndrome, little has been recorded previously in the medical literature about Victor Eisenmenger, the Austrian doctor whose name is attached eponymously to this disorder. Archival material together with information provided by his descendants and relatives has been gathered to make available further details of his life, family, schooling, medical training and accomplishments. An examination of Eisenmenger's book about his observations and experiences while serving from 1895 to 1914 as personal physician to Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, also sheds light on Eisenmenger's personality, abilities and interests.

In this research, we present a study on the atomization threshold (ATh) of sessile droplets, analyzing its relationship with the excitation frequency fexc (55-48 kHz), droplet volume Vdrop (1-100 μl), and droplet viscosity μ (1-6 mPa⋅s). The investigation focused on the atomization thresholds using ultrasonic excitation of distilled water droplets and water- polyethylene glycol (PEG)-8000 mixtures deposited on vibrating surfaces. The obtained results are compared with previously reported theoretical models.

This article provides a brief overview on the history of pulmonary hypertension, starting with the first descriptions of the accompanying pulmonary vascular lesions by Ernst von Romberg and Victor Eisenmenger at the end of the 19th century. Many of the histopathological changes in the pulmonary vasculature found in the various forms of pulmonary hypertension had already been described in the first half of the 20th century. However, only through the pioneering work by Forssmann and Cournand during the middle of the 20th century was it finally possible to catheterise the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries.
