ABSTRACT
Se llevó acabo una revisión bibliográfica sobre la importancia del ácido fólico en el desarrollo del embrión humano. Se realizó un estudio a 387 pacientes, de las diferentes áreas de salud del Municipio Especial, con patologías en la columna vertebral. Al analizar las radiografías se comprobó que 81 pacientes (21.6 porciento) tenían anomalías congénitas en su raquis y el defecto más frecuente fue la espina bífida oculta con 46 casos, que representan el 56.7 porciento del total de la muestra. Por su implicación en la síntesis de ADN, ARN y el metabolismo de algunos aminoácidos, la deficiencia de ácido fólico en el embarazo, antes del cierre del tubo neural, puede ocasionar daños en la formación de la médula espinal y el cerebro(AU)
It was carried out a study from of a social problem of the science that refers to the rejection from the Christian believers to the treatments that are applied in the Chinese Traditional Medicine (CTM). We didn't know why the believers rejected this therapy because we didnt get any explanation from them about it. Therefore, we intended to settle down the causes. In our study, we checked that philosophical theoretical contradictions were existed, because the Tao's philosophy is based on a primitive Dialectical Materialism instead of the religious philosophy, which is Idealist. The consulted specialists said that the theoretical foundations of the Traditional Medicine, are based on the Tao's philosophy and they are not related with any religion. However, we found in the investigation that the Tao's philosophy, which began like a pure philosophical school, became a Religion where they use magic symbols, as the Ying Yang symbol. In the Asian countries, the Traditional Medicine is related with the Taoist religion. We also verify that many believers ignore about the Taoist religion and their relationship with the CTM(AU)
