Dementia
Overview Dementia is a disorder that is characterized by impairment of cognition, typically involving memory and at least one other cognitive deficit, such as aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, or disturbance in executive functioning. These must represent a decline from previous level of function and be severe enough to interfere with daily function and independence. Decrease in intellectual…

Felty Syndrome
Overview Felty syndrome is a rare but serious extra-articular manifestation of long-standing, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA), characterized by the classic triad of RA, splenomegaly, and neutropenia. It was first described in 1924 by the US-American physician Augustus Roi Felty. It most commonly occurs after at least 10 years of poorly controlled RA and is associated…

Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE)
Overview Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE, “watermelon stomach”) is a rare but important cause of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, often presenting with chronic iron-deficiency anaemia or recurrent overt bleeding in older adults, particularly women [1–4]. It is frequently associated with systemic conditions such as liver cirrhosis (~30% of cases) and autoimmune/connective-tissue disease (especially systemic sclerosis).…

Anorectal Disease
Overview Anorectal conditions are a common presentation in the primary care setting. A history and physical examination usually will determine the etiology. Physical examination includes visual inspection, digital rectal examination, and anoscopy Anal Fissure More info on Anal fissures Anal Abscess More info on Anal Abscess Haemorrhoids More info on Haemorrhoids Other anorectal disease…

Pneumonia
Overview Pneumonia is infection in the lower respiratory tract and is characterised by fevers, purulent sputum, leucocytosis, low oxygen levels and new lung infiltrates (consolidation) on radiographic imaging. The infection is identified by the site of consolidation. Consolidation is where the lung tissue is filled with fluid (ie. water, blood, pus, microbes). Types of pneumonia…

Lateral and Medial Elbow Tendinopathy (Epicondylitis)
Overview Medial and lateral elbow tendinopathies are common overuse injuries affecting the common flexor and extensor tendon origins at the elbow, respectively. Commonly known as Golfer's Elbow (medial) and Tennis Elbow (lateral), these conditions are primarily degenerative (tendinosis) rather than inflammatory (tendinitis), resulting from repetitive microtrauma and failed healing responses. Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow…

Marfans Syndrome
Overview Marfan's Syndrome is one of the most common inherited disorders of connective tissue. Marfan syndrome is a hereditary disease affecting connective tissues in the body, resulting in symptoms such as aortic dissection and musculoskeletal deformities. However, no family history of Marfan's does not exclude the diagnosis as 30% can occur through gene mutation. Marfan syndrome:…

When and how to introduce solids to infants – Feeding guide
Wondering when to start solids for your baby? In this video, we guide you through signs of readiness, the best first foods, and tips for safely introducing solids alongside milk feeds. Learn what to look for, how to start, and common mistakes to avoid.
Neuromuscular Junction
Explore the step-by-step process of neuromuscular transmission, from acetylcholine release to muscle fiber contraction. This high-yield video is perfect for mastering the neuromuscular junction for exams like the USMLE, NCLEX, or PLAB.
Immunology – Innate Immunity (Diapedesis)
Understand the process of diapedesis, where immune cells exit blood vessels and migrate into surrounding tissues during inflammation. This educational video explains the key steps and molecular signals involved in leukocyte extravasation—essential for mastering innate immunity and immune response mechanisms.
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.

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.
Aortic Aneurysm
Overview An aortic aneurysm is a pathological dilatation of the aorta caused by weakening of the arterial wall. It may involve the aortic root, ascending aorta, arch, descending thoracic aorta, thoracoabdominal aorta or abdominal aorta. Most aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally or through screening. Progressive enlargement increases the risk of rupture, dissection,…
