Simple allometric relationships between body structure and lung rates have indicated that the rate estimates are quite high in the youngest age group and quite low in the oldest adolescents. In addition, younger males have greater lung function values than younger females for standing body measurements. Tidal volume and respiratory minute volume increase with exercise. The increase in inspiration is derived from the inspiratory reserve volume. Vital capacity is an important indicator, but in recent years, forced vital capacity (FVC) measurements have become more accepted. FVC is close to VC in healthy individuals. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) has the advantage of being the most reproducible lung function parameter and is normally 75%–80% (2). A decrease indicates large airway obstruction. Oral health is a part of general health and its integrity is impaired by diseases that develop on dental or periodontal tissue. Periodontal diseases are specific infections characterized by the progression of the infections in the gingival connective tissue, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, destruction of the dental support tissues, and eventual tooth loss (3). These diseases are caused by complex relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and hosts, and are the most common chronic diseases known to the World Health Organization (WHO) data (4). Recent studies have focused on periodontal health and shown that many systemic and periodontal diseases are related. These are diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory system diseases, metabolic syndrome, kidney diseases, and negative consequences (preterm delivery, low-birth-weight SUMMARY This study aimed to determine the effect of periodontal disease and dental decay, which deteriorated oral health in athletes, on the respiratory system and hence sports performance. The athletes were divided into 3 groups: group 1: no periodontal disease or dental health problem (age: 16.8 ± 4.72 years; 10 male and 15 female); group 2: DMFT 1.7 and 13 athletes with periodontal disease (age: 18.2 ± 4.88 years; 22 male and 22 female); and group 3: DMFT 6.7 and periodontal disease (age: 20.8 ± 4.60 years; 19 male and 23 female). The mean prevalence value, DMFT index, gingival index (GI), forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio, and FVC mean value were evaluated. The mean FEV1/FVC% value of group 1 was 84.8 ± 2.26, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 20.8 ± 4.56. The DMFT index of group 2 was found to be 1.7. Based on the GI assessment, 13 athletes were diagnosed with acute gingivitis. The mean BMI of this group was 22.2 ± 3.49. Based on the respiratory test, the mean value of FEV1/FVC% was 85±2.22. The DMFT index of group 3 was 6.7. No significant correlation was found between FEV1/FVC% and oral health problems of group 2.

In Enterobacteriaceae, antibiotic resistance is linked to different mechanisms, for example the production of a certain type of enzymes named as extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). ESBLs are plasmid-mediated and efficiently hydrolyze penicillins, third-generation cephalosporins, and aztreonam, which are commonly used to treat infections [3, 4]. In addition, antibiotic resistance due to AmpC β-lactamases, 16S rRNA methylases, aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, and carbapenemases has also been reported [5]. ESBL-producing bacteria remain susceptible to carbapenems, and the activity of these enzymes is inhibited by clavulanic acid [6, 7]. In K. pneumoniae, AmpC beta-lactamases are located on plasmids, while in other Enterobacteriaceae spp., these enzymes are either plasmid or chromosomally encoded [8, 9]. AmpC β-lactamases confer resistance to cephamycins (e.g., cefoxitin and cefotetan) and β-lactamase inhibitor combinations [6]. Moreover, K. pneumoniae has also been found to harbor carbapenemase enzyme (KPC), which confers resistance to carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem [10]. The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae spp. in general and K. pneumoniae, in particular, has become a major public health problem due to lack of effective antibiotics [11], increasing the morbidity ABSTRACT","PeriodicalId":351803,"journal":{"name":"medical journal of islamic world academy of sciences","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121415274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
