Hi
I am sure this query has come up before, but I am unable to locate this on Proz.

How do I translate "note" here- academic paper?

Here is the context

Le Progres Médical (title of article)

memorandum


Explanation:
Despite the literal meaning, this seems to be used quite a lot in other contexts too, with just this sort of meaning (and often translating FR 'note')

I am not in any way a medical expert, so I am only suggesting this from a purely linguistic standpoint.
