A journal (through French from late Latin diurnalis, daily) has several related meanings:

• a daily record of events or business; a private journal is usually referred to as a diary.
• a newspaper or other periodical, in the literal sense of one published each day;
• however, some publications issued at stated intervals, such as a magazine or the record of the transactions of society such as a scientific journal or academic journals in general, are called a journal. Journal, then, is sometimes used as a synonym for "magazine".

The word "journalist" for one whose business is writing for the public press has been in use since the end of the 17th century.

"Journal" is also applied to the record, day by day, of the business and proceedings of a public body:

• The journals of the British Houses of Parliament contain an official record of the business transacted day by day in either house. The record does not take note of speeches, though some of the earlier volumes contain references to them. The journals are a lengthened account written from the "Votes and Proceedings" (in the House of Lords called "Minutes of Proceedings"), made day by day by the Clerks at the Table, and printed on the responsibility of the Clerk of the House. In the Commons the Votes and Proceedings, but not the Journal, bear the Speaker's signature in fulfilment of a former order that he should "peruse" them before publication. The journals of the British House of Commons begin in the first year of the reign of Edward VI in 1547, and are complete, except for a short interval under Elizabeth I. Those of the House of Lords date from the first year of Henry VIII in 1509. Before that date the proceedings in parliament were entered in the rolls of parliament, which extend from 1278 to 1503. The journals of the Lords are "records" in the judicial sense, those of the Commons are not (see Erskine May, Parliamentary Practice, 1906, pp. 201-202).
• Section 5 of Article I of the United States Constitution requires the Congress of the United States to keep a journal of its proceedings. This journal, the Congressional Record is published by the Government Printing Office.

Journals of this sort are also often referred to as minutes.

Prenatal findings of concomitant duodenal and esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula (Gross type A)
Yasuyuki Mitani, Toshimichi Hasegawa, Akio Kubota, Hisayoshi Kawahara, Akihiro Yoneda, Keisuke Nose, Motonari Nomura Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:34:00 -0000
Prenatal diagnosis of concomitant duodenal atresia (DA) and esophageal atresia (EA) without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) (Gross type A) is very rare. We describe prenatal findings of one such case. Sonographic examination of a 26-week fetus showed a double cystic structure and an intrathoracic cyst. MRI and ultrasound at 26 weeks and 2 days' gestation showed shrinkage of the stomach and duodenum, massive ascites, and the presence of dilated pouch-like structure in the thoracic inlet level, consistent with an upper pouch sign. Polyhydramnios was detected at 30 weeks' gestation. Prenatal diagnosis was concomitant DA and an intrathoracic anomaly such as congenital hiatal hernia, diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal duplication or EA. A boy was delivered at 38 weeks' gestation. Physical examination showed a markedly distended abdomen and imperforate anus. Emergency surgery revealed existing DA and EA without TEF (Gross type A). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pre-, intra-, and postoperative sonography of the abdominal wall in patients with incisional hernias repaired via a three-layered operative suture method

We illustrate the various sonographic (US) appearances of the abdominal wall following this type of repair, including partial and complete recurrences. Correlation is made with CT imaging. The three-layered anatomical reconstruction of an incisional hernia is described. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2009
Prenatal diagnosis of schizencephaly with 2D-3D sonography and MRI
Ali Gedikbasi, Gokhan Yildirim, Sezin Saygi, Oguz Arslan, Ahmet Gul, Yavuz Ceylan Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:01:00 -0000
We report a case of schizencephaly diagnosed prenatally at 23 weeks of gestational age with two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) sonography and fetal brain MRI, confirmed by autopsy. The diagnostic method of choice is 2D transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, whereas additional 3D sonography and MRI may provide a better understanding of the pathology and related findings. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
