Text Appearing Before Image:
n much pus is present, and the urine has stood a while, a putrid odor is developed. In diabetes niellitus the urine has a sweetish, hay-like odor. Indiabetic eoma the odor is sometimes like that of chloroform, due to thepresence of acetone and diacetic acid in the urine. This odor, however,i- more likely to be detected in the breath. Chemical Examination of the Urine. Examination of the urine by the unaided senses, which lias been dweltupon thus far, is simply preliminary to an examination by chemicalmethods and by instruments of precision, particularly the microscope. Urea. Urea is freely soluble in water, and hence never appears as asediment. It is the most important final product of nitrogenous disin-tegration in the body, and is an index of the eliminative power of thekidneys. Usually the density of the urine increases in proportion to theamount of urea contained in it. The average daily amount of ureaexcreted by an adult man between the ages of twenty and forty years is Fig. 221.

Squibbs ureometer. about 500 grains. The urea, like the total volume of the urine, issubject to variations within the limits of health. It is increased after ameal, especially if the latter be rich in nitrogenous food; after copiousingestion of liquids, and by a close atmosphere. On the other hand,fasting, free perspiration, a loose condition of the bowels, and a vegetableor milk diet diminish the quantity of urea. Again, the quantity varieswith the age of the person. According to Ralfe, at five years the dailyamount is 180 grains ; at twelve, 320 ; at twenty-one, 535, and at fortyyears, 555 grains. A large man will excrete absolutely more than a small man, and alarge muscular man will excrete relatively more than a fat man of thesame height. The excretion of urea is increased in fever and inflammatory diseases ; ESTIMATION OF UREA. 633 in diabetes mellitus and insipidus; in malaria, pernicious anaemia, andafter a crisis in pneumonia.

In New York City, one of the richest cities in the world, food poverty is around every corner. Throughout the five boroughs, approximately 1.3 million people — largely comprised of women, children, seniors, the working poor and people with disabilities — rely on soup kitchens and food pantries. In addition, the number of New Yorkers experiencing difficulty affording food for themselves and their families has doubled to approximately four million since 2003.
Food poverty in New York City results from problems affording or accessing needed food. Low-income New Yorkers often have to make choices between providing enough food for themselves or their families and paying the month’s rent or utility bills. With food prices steadily rising, difficulty affording groceries among New Yorkers with already stretched budgets has reached crisis levels. The steadily rising cost of living is also being felt by middle-income New Yorkers, who are increasingly experiencing difficulty affording food. Meanwhile, a number of financial pressures — including health issues, health insurance issues and low wages — continue to affect New Yorkers with low to moderate incomes.

In addition to financial problems, low-income neighborhoods throughout New York City are characterized by a lack of affordable, nutritious food. Add to that equation chronically stretched budgets and the prevalence of low-cost, low-quality food and it is easy to understand the challenges of leading a truly healthy lifestyle in many neighborhoods — which lead to high concentrations of diet-related conditions such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension.
