From the Guidelines
A diaphragmatic cell is not a specific type of cell, but rather the term "diaphragm" refers to a muscular sheet that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity, and its injury can be classified into different grades based on the severity of the injury, as described in the AAST diaphragm injury scale 1. The diaphragm is a vital structure that plays a crucial role in respiration, and its injury can lead to serious complications, such as herniation of abdominal organs, respiratory distress, and even death. The AAST diaphragm injury scale grades the severity of diaphragmatic injuries from Grade I (contusion) to Grade V (laceration with tissue loss > 25 cm²) 1. Some key points to consider when evaluating diaphragmatic injuries include:
- The severity of the injury, as classified by the AAST diaphragm injury scale 1
- The potential for complications, such as herniation of abdominal organs, respiratory distress, and sepsis 1
- The importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent further complications and improve outcomes 1 It is essential to note that the term "diaphragmatic cell" is not a recognized medical term, and the diaphragm is not composed of specific "cells" in the classical sense, but rather is a muscular structure that plays a critical role in respiration. The focus should be on understanding the anatomy and function of the diaphragm, as well as the potential consequences of diaphragmatic injuries, as described in the AAST diaphragm injury scale 1.

- The term "diaphragma" is mentioned in study 2, but it refers to the diaphragma sellae, which is a structure in the brain, not a type of cell.
- The studies provided focus on topics such as meningiomas, corticosteroids, and immunosuppression, but do not discuss diaphragmatic cells.
- None of the studies 3, 4, 5, or 6 mention diaphragmatic cells or provide any relevant information on this topic.
