    Imagination Meets Innovation: The Creative Impact Of Science Fiction Literature On Middle School Students
    (INDIAN SOCIETY FOR HEALTH AND ADVANCED RESEARCH, 2025-04) Patel, Shalaka; Sharma, Divya
    This experimental study explores the effect of science fiction literature on the creativity of middle school students. Creativity, recognized as a vital skill in education, enhances students' problem-solving, imagination, and innovation capacities. Grounded in Torrance's model of creativity, the study employs a mixed-methods approach integrating pre- and post-intervention assessments and semi-structured interviews. A total of 60 students from Grade 8 were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received a four-week science fiction literature intervention involving multimedia and narrative formats. The creativity was measured using Torrance Inspired Tests of Creative Thinking (TITCT). Results revealed statistically significant gains in creativity—especially in originality and fluency—among students exposed to science fiction. These findings emphasize the dual role of science fiction as a medium for fostering both creativity and scientific literacy in education.

    Krishna's Diabic Care: An Evidence-Based Review of Ingredients for Diabetes Control
    (Mahadev Publications, 2024-12) Daga, Shrawan; Shrivastava, Pradeep; Sharma, Divya
    Krishna’s Diabic Care is an Ayurvedic formulation aimed at managing diabetes by combining traditional herbal remedies with holistic approaches. This review explores the potential benefits, safety profile, challenges, and future directions of this product in the context of diabetes management. Krishna’s Diabic Care utilizes a blend of herbs traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, such as Trigonella foenum-graecum, Syzygium cumini, Momordica charantia, Gymnema sylvestre, Azadirachta indica, Aegle marmelos, Ocimum sanctum, Pterocarpus marsupium, Phyllanthus emblica, Tinospora cordifolia, and Picrorhiza kurroa, known for their roles in supporting blood sugar regulation, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing complications related to diabetes. However, scientific validation through clinical trials is needed to confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of Krishna’s Diabic Care. While the product demonstrates promise, its integration into mainstream diabetes management is hindered by the lack of robust clinical evidence, potential variations in formulation quality, and regulatory challenges. Collaborations between Ayurvedic practitioners and modern researchers could further bridge traditional knowledge with contemporary medical practices, facilitating broader acceptance of Ayurveda in managing chronic conditions like diabetes. The review concludes that Krishna’s Diabic Care holds potential as part of a holistic diabetes management strategy, with the need for rigorous clinical validation to enhance its credibility and integration into global healthcare systems.

    Krishna’s® She Care Ayurvedic Juice: A Literature-Based Review of its Polyherbal Approach to Women’s Hormonal Balance
    (Mahadev Publications, 2025-06) Daga, Shrawan; Shrivastava, Pradeep; Sharma, Divya
    Krishna’s® She Care Juice is a polyherbal preparation that is intended to promote women's reproductive health, especially in the management of conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), irregular menstrual cycles, dysmenorrhea, and other gynecological disorders. This review summarizes the existing scientific and clinical literature regarding the major herbal constituents of the product i.e., Saraca asoca, Berberis aristata, Zingiber officinale, and Triphala emphasizing their unique roles in modifying hormonal equilibrium, anti-inflammatory actions, uterine health promotion, and enhancing metabolic indices. Clinical trials of S. asoca establish its effectiveness in curtailing menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea. B. aristata demonstrated insulin-sensitizing activity, useful in the management of PCOS, while Z. officinale has evidence based on randomized controlled trials for its analgesic and hormone-modulating action. Triphala, exhibiting antioxidant and adaptogenic activities, proved useful in the control of menstrual disorders, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and endometriosis. While encouraging evidence exists for each of these individual herbs, a major gap still exists in direct clinical evidence comparing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the combination formulation as it occurs in Krishna’s® She Care Juice. This serves to underscore the imperative need for pre-clinical mechanistic studies and rigorously designed clinical trials to establish its therapeutic merits, refine dosing regimens, and define safety profiles. The novel traditional application and corroborative findings on its components render Krishna’s® She Care Juice an interesting subject for future investigation, with the potential to become a standardized, evidence-based Ayurvedic treatment for women's health.
