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.

Acute Knee Dislocation: Review of an Elusive Entity

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 6, November-December 2009, Pages 237-250Sangita, Kapur , Robert D., Wissman , Michael, Robertson , Sadhna, Verma , Michael C., Kreeger , ...The knee consists of three articulations: the patellofemoral, the tibiofemoral, and the proximal tibiofibular joint. Any of these joints can dislocate. Dislocations are uncommon, tend to spontaneously reduce, and can be difficult to detect on clinical examination. There are, however, telltale imaging features and the radiologist may be the first to suggest the correct diagnosis. A timely diagnosis is important as some forms are associated with limb-threatening complications. Lateral patellofemoral dislocation, in the acute setting, is typically an injury of young athletes and usually spontaneously reduces at the time of trauma. In transient lateral dislocation, contusions may be seen in...
Multidetector Computed Tomography Findings of Dense Pulmonary Emboli in Oncologic Patients

Occasionally, on MDCT studies, dense linear branching opacities may be found within the pulmonary vessels. They represent dense emboli within the pulmonary arteries (DEPA). These may occur in oncologic patients that undergo specific treatments or interventional procedures, such as cement embolus from vertebroplasty, catheter or coil migration after embolization procedures, radioactive seed embolus in patients treated with local brachytherapy for prostate, lung, or liver cancer, and also in chronic pulmonary embolism. Usually DEPA does not have any clinical significance but may...

Publication year: 2009Source: Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Volume 12, Issue 2, June 2009, Pages 80-91T. Gregory, WalkerAlthough most cases of acute gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage either spontaneously resolve or respond to medical management and/or endoscopic treatment, there remain a significant number of patients who require emergency evaluation and treatment by the interventional radiologist. Any angiographic evaluation should begin with selective catheterization of the artery supplying the most likely site of bleeding, as determined by the available clinical, endoscopic, and imaging data. If a source of hemorrhage is identified, superselective catheterization followed by transcatheter embolization with microcoils is the most effective means of successfully controlling hemorrhage while minimizing potential complications. This is now well-recognized as a viable and...
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt for Acute Variceal Hemorrhage
Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:42:31 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Volume 12, Issue 2, June 2009, Pages 92-101Sanjeeva P., Kalva , Gloria M., Salazar , T. Gregory, WalkerAcute variceal hemorrhage is life-threatening and requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective therapy. Transfusion of blood products, systemic therapy with vasopressin, octreotide, and selective β-blockers and early endoscopic therapy are often effective; however, uncontrollable variceal hemorrhage is best treated with transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) creation. This procedure involves establishment of a direct pathway between the hepatic veins and the portal veins to decompress the portal venous hypertension that is the source of the patient's hemorrhage. The procedure is technically challenging, especially in critically ill patients, and has a mortality of 30%-50% in the emergency setting, but has greater than...
