Gallstone Disease
This section looks at gallstone disease in general. For info on cholecystitis specifically click here . Overview Gallstones, also called cholelithiasis, are solid deposits formed from components of bile, most commonly cholesterol or bilirubin. They usually develop within the gallbladder but may migrate into the biliary ducts. Gallstones range from very small particles to large stones…

Stroke (Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic)
Overview Third most common cause of death worldwide and most common cause of neurological disability. It is subdivided into ischaemic stroke (caused by vascular occlusion or stenosis) and haemorrhagic stroke (caused by vascular rupture, resulting in intra-parenchymal and/or subarachnoid haemorrhage). Stroke: Acute onset of a focal neurologic deficit due to a cerebral infarction or hemorrhage. Transient Ischaemic…

VEXAS Syndrome
Overview VEXAS syndrome is a late-onset, adult autoinflammatory disease caused by acquired somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene, leading to dysregulated innate immunity, systemic inflammation, and overlapping haematologic and rheumatologic manifestations. VEXAS stands for Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic. It predominantly affects older males due to its X-linked nature and typically presents with refractory…

Liver Cysts
Authors Dr. Armando Faigl Areej zeeshan Ahmed Overview Liver cysts are fluid filled cavities in the liver that are asymptomatic and usually found incidentally on abdominal imaging. Larger cysts are more commonly associated with symptoms and complications. Clinical Manifestations Differential diagnosis for all liver cysts Liver abscess Benign tumors Malignant tumors Regenerative nodules Cholelithiasis GERD…

Sjögren’s Syndrome
Overview Sjögren’s Syndrome is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration and destruction of exocrine glands, primarily affecting the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca). It commonly affects middle-aged women, with a female:male ratio of approximately 9:1. It can be primary (isolated) or secondary (associated…

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Overview Inflammatory bowel disease is a common condition. It is divided into two types: Crohn disease and Ulcerative colitis. Both these condition differ in pathology, progression and complication, but they do share a lot similar characteristics as well. Colitis: Inflammation of the colon, which may be due to infectious, autoimmune, ischemic, or idiopathic causes. Inflammatory…

Acute Limb Ischaemia
Overview Acute limb ischaemia refers to any sudden decrease in limb perfusion that causes a potential threat to viability. It is associated with pain, motor and sensory loss, and cold sensation. It affects one in about 6000 of the population 1 and is more common in the lower limb, with less than 17% of cases…

Good places to begin
Explanations learners return to.
Immunology – Innate Immunity (Toll-Like Receptors)
Discover the role of Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) in innate immunity with this immunology video, covering how TLRs recognize pathogens and trigger immune responses. Perfect for exams and clinical prep, learn key TLR types, their ligands, and downstream signaling pathways.
Cell Membrane V – Membrane Dynamics
Explore Membrane Dynamics in this video, covering fluidity, lipid movement, protein mobility, and membrane remodeling. Perfect for cell biology and exams, this video breaks down how membranes adapt to functional demands with clear explanations and clinical relevance.
Introduction to the cell cytoplasm and cell organelles
Get an introduction to the cell cytoplasm and key organelles, including their structures and specific roles in maintaining cellular function. This video provides a clear overview of components like the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and more to build a strong foundation in cell biology.
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.
Reem Mohamed Khair Abdalrazig
Student, Neelain University
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.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Overview Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a compressive neuropathy of the median nerve as it passes beneath the transverse carpal ligament at the wrist. It is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome and typically causes nocturnal paraesthesia, numbness or pain involving the thumb, index finger, middle finger and radial half of the ring finger.…
