Bronchiectasis
Overview Bronchiectasis was a common disabling and fatal condition in the pre-antibiotic era and remains more common in medically underserved regions of the world. Irreversible dilatation of airways due to in ammatory destruction of airway walls resulting from persistently infected mucus. Bronchiectasis usually affects medium sized airways Bronchiectasis: Bronchiectasis is the permanent dilation of bronchi…

Asthma
Overview Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation disorder due to complex interactions between inflammatory cells, mediators and airway cells. In young children in whom lung function testing is not feasible, including most preschool children, asthma is defined by the presence of variable respiratory symptoms. Asthma is one of the most common causes of presentation to the Emergency…

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…

Urinary Tract Infection
Overview Infection of the urinary tract is common and more so in women (due to shorter urethra and hormonal changes). UTIs may be classified as either a lower (Cystitis, urethritis and Prostatitis) or upper UTI (pyelonephritis). The main causative agents are bacteria such as E-coli. A lower UTI can progress to an upper UTI causing systemic symptoms…

Testicular Torsion
Overview Testicular torsion is a urological emergency caused by twisting of the spermatic cord, leading to acute interruption of blood flow to the testis and rapid ischemia. It most commonly occurs in adolescents (peak 12–18 years) but can occur at any age, including neonates. The incidence is approximately 1 in 4,000 males under 25 years. Early…

Digoxin Toxicity
75 year old presents to emergency with a 2 day history nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. He has not been tolerating oral fluids and is currently confused with a GCS of 14. He has a past medical history of heart failure, atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney injury. He is on digoxin, metoprolol and an…

Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Overview Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) , previously called hyaline membrane disease, is a disorder caused primarily by pulmonary surfactant deficiency and structural lung immaturity. It occurs mainly in premature infants and presents shortly after birth with tachypnoea, grunting, chest recession and increasing oxygen requirements. Severity increases as gestational age decreases. Neonatal RDS is different…

Good places to begin
Explanations learners return to.
Nephron reabsorption and secretion – renal physiology
Discover how the kidneys maintain homeostasis through the intricate processes of tubular reabsorption and secretion. This video explains the physiology behind nephron function, including key transport mechanisms and clinical relevance in nephrology.
Liver Disease Part II
Continue learning about liver disease with a focus on advanced conditions such as cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and liver failure. This video explains the complications, clinical features, and underlying mechanisms of progressive liver damage.
Cardiology – Heart Physiology I (Cardiac Myocyte and Membrane Potential)
Explore the physiology of cardiac myocytes, focusing on their electrical properties and how membrane potentials regulate heart contractions. This video explains ion channel activity, resting potential, and the phases of the cardiac action potential in a clear and structured way.
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.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
Overview Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is an umbrella term encompassing a heterogeneous group of chronic inflammatory arthritides of unknown etiology presenting in children under 16 years of age. It represents the most common chronic pediatric rheumatic disease, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 1,000 children. To meet the diagnostic criteria, arthritis must persist for…
