Umbilical and Epigastric Hernia
Overview Umbilical and Epigastric hernias are types of Primary Ventral abdominal wall hernias. Epigastric hernias are two to three times more common in men. Umbilical hernias are three times more likely in females. Most epigastric hernias contain preperitoneal fat, while most umbilical hernias contain omentum or bowel. These hernias are usually asymptomatic unless incarcerated, obstructed…

Birth Defects
Overview Birth defects are the leading cause of perinatal and post- neonatal deaths, and result in substantial morbidity and disability in developed countries. There is a wide variety of mechanisms including genetic, environmental and multifactorial. Major birth defects affect 2–3% of live-borns, and minor birth defects affect 15%. Preventative strategies remain limited, but include maternal folic acid supplementation,…

Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Overview In the clinical setting, iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia. Iron Deficiency is lack of iron in the body resulting from inadequate iron intake, increased iron loss and increased iron demand which can lead to anaemia. Iron is an integral part of haemoglobin the oxygen carrying protein. Without iron, oxygen is unable to…

Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Overview Cardiac sarcoidosis is an inflammatory heart disease caused by myocardial infiltration with non-necrotising granulomas. Inflammation may subsequently resolve, recur, or progress to permanent fibrosis. The disease is often patchy and may affect the conduction system, ventricular myocardium, papillary muscles, valves, pericardium, or coronary microcirculation. 1 Cardiac involvement may occur as part of multisystem sarcoidosis…

Fed State
Explore the metabolic changes that occur in the fed state, when the body shifts to storing and utilizing nutrients after a meal. This video explains how insulin regulates glucose uptake, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and protein synthesis across key organs.
Cranial Nerves – Functions and Disorders
Understand the functions and disorders of Cranial Nerves in this video, covering all 12 nerves with their sensory, motor, and autonomic roles. Ideal for exams and clinical practice, this video highlights key lesions, symptoms, and diagnostic clues for each cranial nerve.
Febrile Neutropenia – Pathophysiology and Management
Febrile neutropenia is a potentially life-threatening oncologic emergency—learn its causes, diagnosis, and immediate management to protect chemotherapy patients. In this concise, clinically focused video you’ll understand what febrile neutropenia is, why neutrophils matter, and how chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (often 5–10 days after treatment) predisposes patients to rapid sepsis. Key concepts covered include neutrophil biology (primary and…
Our mission
Medical science is complex. Understanding it should feel possible.
Armando Hasudungan turns difficult medical science into clear visual explanations and connected learning experiences—so learners can see the whole picture, remember what matters and find a clearer way forward.
See it clearly
Turn abstract processes and invisible relationships into something the learner can picture.
Connect the pieces
Build understanding around how concepts fit together—not a pile of isolated facts.
Make it useful
Help learners move from explanation to recall, revision and the next logical step.
What clarity feels like
When the topic stops being a blur.
Learners do not come back because the subject became easy. They come back because the explanation gave them a picture they could work with.
“Armando's teaching style gives me the foundational knowledge.
Jessica Payne-Burnett
Medical Student, Charles Sturt University
“The notes I make during his videos help me retain everything better.
Ayesha RaiStudent, Islamabad Medical and Dental College
“The drawings are amazing and super easy to remember.

Coming soon: the AH study platform
The explanation is only the start.
The free library helps you find a clear explanation. The AH platform is being built to help you connect the resources, follow a clearer path and check what actually stuck.
- Watch in a focused, ad-free study environment.
- Move between connected videos, notes, diagrams and questions.
- Know what belongs next instead of rebuilding the study path yourself.
- Test your understanding while the topic is still fresh.
New and worth a look
Keep building the picture.
Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Overview Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a motion-related clinical disorder of the hip in which symptoms and clinical signs occur in association with characteristic femoral and/or acetabular morphology. The accepted diagnostic concept is a triad of symptoms, clinical signs and imaging findings ; bone morphology alone does not establish the syndrome. Patients commonly present with…
