A 3D discrete model of the diaphragm and human trunk [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper, a 3D discrete model is presented to model the movements of the trunk during breathing. In this model, objects are represented by physical particles on their contours. A simple notion of force generated by a linear actuator allows the model

Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia and intestinal obstruction following laparoscopic hepatectomy: A case report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Investigative Surgery, 2019 Diaphragmatic hernias may be either congenital or acquired. Acquired diaphragmatic hernias generally develop in association with blunt or penetrating thoraco-abdominal injuries. Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernias are rare in the literature.

Diaphragmatic eventration presenting as a recurrent diaphragmatic hernia [PDF]
The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2017 Diaphragmatic eventration is an uncommon condition, usually discovered incidentally in asymptomatic patients. Even in symptomatic patients, the diagnosis can be challenging and should be considered among the differential diagnoses of diaphragmatic hernia. The correct diagnosis can often only be made in surgery.

Results of diaphragmatic plication for unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1985 Seven adult patients with dyspnea resulting from nonmalignant unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis underwent plication of the affected hemidiaphragm. Preoperatively, the patients complained of exertional dyspnea and orthopnea and had a reduced arterial oxygen tension, total lung capacity, vital capacity, expiratory reserve volume, and functional residual
