Non-Febrile Seizures (Epilepsy)
This section will mainly focus on Paediatric Epilepsy (NOT FEBRILE SEIZURES) Children and Adults can have seizures because of metabolic disturbances, trauma or being in a febrile state. This does mean they have epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition characterised by the tendency for recurrent seizures. Presents when at least 2 unprovoked seizures occur >24 hours apart. Overview…
View topic ↗Carotid Artery Disease
Overview Carotid artery disease refers to atherosclerotic narrowing of the carotid artery lumen. It is associated with approximately 10-15% of all ischaemic strokes. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a principal cause of long-term disability in much of the industrialised world. The degree of internal carotid artery stenosis is the most important…
View topic ↗Diverticular Disease
Overview Diverticula of the colon consist of outpouchings of mucous membrane through the muscle wall of the bowel. In the colon, diverticula are found most commonly in the sigmoid and descending colon, and become increasingly rare in passing from the left to the right side of the colon. They are unusual before the age of 40…
View topic ↗Liver Cirrhosis
Overview Cirrhosis is the advanced stage of chronic liver injury characterised by widespread fibrosis, regenerative nodules and distortion of normal hepatic architecture. This causes two major consequences: Portal hypertension Reduced hepatic function Cirrhosis may remain asymptomatic for years before progressing from a compensated to a decompensated stage. Compensated cirrhosis: cirrhosis without major clinical complications. Decompensated…
View topic ↗Angina Pectoris
Overview Angina Pectoris refers to the pain caused by myocardial ischaemia. Myocardial Ischaemia is usually caused by stenosis within the vessel decreasing blood flow to the muscle, but it can be caused by tachycardia, anaemia, aortic stenosis, left ventricular hypertophy and many other disease. Angina "latin choking". Angina Pectoris: Pain caused by myocardial ischaemia (not myocardial…
View topic ↗Aortic Regurgitation (incompetence)
Overview Aortic regurgitation (AR) is backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole because the aortic valve does not close completely. AR may result from disease of the valve leaflets, dilatation of the aortic root or both. Chronic AR causes progressive left-ventricular volume overload and dilatation, whereas acute severe AR…
View topic ↗Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (Exercise-induced Compartment Syndrome)
Overview Chronic compartment syndrome (also known as chronic exertional compartment syndrome or exercise induced compartment syndrome) is an exertional condition in which repetitive activity causes transiently elevated pressure within a closed myofascial compartment, leading to ischemic pain, tightness, and sometimes neurologic symptoms that predictably begin with exercise and abate with rest. It most often affects…

Osteoporosis pharmacology, prevention and treatment (bisphosphonates, denosumab, SERMs)
There are medications available to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Medications to prevent osteoporosis are only for those at high risk of osteoporosis, this includes those taking high dose of steroids for a long duration. If someone old has a fracture then usually they are started on medications for osteoporosis regardless of T score. Or if…

Immunology – Innate Immunity (Inflammatory Response)
Explore the Innate Immune System and Inflammatory Response in this immunology video, covering first-line defenses, key immune cells, and cytokine signaling. Learn how the body mounts a rapid response to infection—essential knowledge for exams and clinical foundations.

Stridor in children (causes, inspiratory and expiratory stridor, pathophysiology)
Learn about stridor in children, a high-pitched breathing sound caused by airway obstruction, and its classification into inspiratory and expiratory types. This video explores the underlying pathophysiology and common causes such as croup, laryngomalacia, and foreign body aspiration.
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.
“The notes I make during his videos help me retain everything better.
“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.
Cerebral Aneurysm
Overview Cerebral (Intracranial) aneurysm is a focal dilation of an intracranial artery due to weakness of the arterial wall. It occurs in roughly 1-5% of adults and can lead to permanent disability. The most common type is a saccular “berry” aneurysm. Most common location is anterior communicating artery. Cerebral aneurysms are typically asymptomatic until rupture,…
