article

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.

Surgical methods in the treatment of congenital anomalies of the uterine cervix
Roberts, Carla P.; Rock, John A.Purpose of review: Cervical agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the female reproductive tract. There are many anatomical forms that constitute this type of cervical abnormality and the literature is replete with attempts to surgically restore a patent outflow tract and preserve fertility in these patients. There are no carefully designed cohort or randomized trials to support a best surgical practice; past reports are descriptive only. Recent findings: Of late, there has been renewed interest in the surgical treatment of cervical dysgenesis with techniques both through laparotomy with hysterotomy and more recently, minimally invasive approaches, which have attempted to restore a patent outflow tract without perineal dissection or graft harvesting in an attempt to avoid uterovaginal scarring if further surgery is necessary. To maintain consistency in the field of surgical reconstruction of the female reproductive tract, there has been a call for streamlined classifications of the anatomical abnormalities observed to better compare patient findings and the outcome of their surgical reconstruction in the literature. Summary: The authors discuss the embryological development of this rare reproductive tract abnormality and have proposed a systematic surgical strategy for each anatomic finding. Ultimately, counseling patients on the best surgical approach requires a discussion on the potential postoperative complications, the degree of cervical abnormality, and the patient's desired treatment outcome. Whether the patient desires definitive treatment with a hysterectomy to avoid the risk of further surgery or, when anatomically appropriate, she wants to pursue a patent outflow tract and the possibility of future childbearing, evidence-based medicine must become the source for surgical strategies.
