Los autores reconocen los aportes del ing. José Olalde, investigador venezolano que desarrolló la Teoría Sistémica de los Sistemas Vivientes en el año 2001, y publicó sus fundamentos en la revista eCAM en el año 2005, en la creación de su modelo basado en la entropía (desorden) del sistema viviente.

Los originales conceptos sobre entropía del sistema viviente desarrollados por Olalde, permitieron a los investigadores de la República Popular China, la construcción de un modelo matemático capaz de explicar complicados conceptos fundamentales de la Medicina Tradicional China, tales como: el “qi” (como el núcleo de la vida humana), el Yin-Yan  y la evolución de los sistemas vivientes.

Este trabajo establece un novedoso acercamiento a los principios básicos de la Medicina Tradicional China y ofrece una amplia visión que permite la comprensión de los sistemas vivientes.

Esta no es la primera vez que los artículos científicos de Olalde y sus colaboradores son citados en publicaciones médicas especializadas.  A continuación se especifican los artículos que referencian los trabajos de Olalde y se ofrecen los enlaces para que el lector interesado pueda conocerlos. En negrilla, las Universidades e Instituciones académicas a las que pertenecen los autores, con la finalidad de enfatizar la importancia del desarrollo científico de Olalde y su “resonancia” en el ámbito científico internacional.
