Osgood Schlatter
Overview In this common disorder of adolescence the tibial tubercle becomes painful and ‘swollen’. Although often called osteochondritis and apophysitis, it is nothing more than a traction injury of the apophysis into which part of the patellar tendon is attached. Osgood-Schaltter disease typically occurs during the early adolescent growth spurt between 10-15 years of age,…

Acute Cholecystitis
Overview Acute cholecystitis is acute inflammation of the gallbladder, usually caused by a gallstone obstructing the cystic duct. Persistent obstruction causes gallbladder distension, inflammation and possible secondary bacterial infection. Most cases are calculous, while acalculous cholecystitis occurs mainly in critically ill or severely immunocompromised patients. Cholecystectomy: surgical removal of the gallbladder. Calculous cholecystitis: gallbladder inflammation…

Myasthenia Gravis
Overview Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder where antibodies target acetylcholine receptors (AChR) or MuSK proteins at the post-synaptic membrane, impairing neuromuscular transmission and causing muscle weakness Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disorder marked by fluctuating muscle weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest, commonly affecting the ocular…

Febrile Seizure
Overview Seizures are a common occurrence in children. 8% will have at least one seizure by 15 years of age. A seizure is the result of an abnormal paroxysmal discharge by cerebral neurons. Many underlying conditions and neurological challenges may provoke seizures, and in over 50% of children seizures are isolated events associated with either a fever…

Rhesus Hemolytic Disease
Rhesus haemolytic disease Overview Rhesus haemolytic disease, more accurately called RhD haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), occurs when maternal IgG antibodies against the RhD antigen cross the placenta and destroy RhD-positive fetal red blood cells. It usually develops after an RhD-negative mother has previously been sensitised by pregnancy, fetomaternal haemorrhage or transfusion.…

Acute Liver (Hepatic) Failure
Overview Acute liver failure is a rare but life-threatening critical illness that occurs most often in patients who do not have preexisting liver disease. Acute liver failure is seen most commonly in previously healthy adults in their 30s and presents unique challenges in clinical management. The clinical presentation usually includes hepatic dysfunction, abnormal liver biochemical…

Botulism
Overview Botulism is a rare, life-threatening neuroparalytic syndrome caused by botulinum neurotoxin. It classically produces acute bilateral cranial nerve palsies followed by symmetrical descending flaccid paralysis, which may progress to respiratory failure. 1 Botulism is very rare in Australia, where most reported cases occur in infants younger than 12 months. Nevertheless, foodborne, wound and iatrogenic…

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.
Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 & Type 2 – Chronic Complications and Management
Diabetes explained: learn how insulin, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and chronic complications affect blood sugar, kidneys, heart, nerves, and vision. This concise video breaks down the physiology of glucose metabolism and insulin action, clarifies the differences between type 1 (autoimmune insulin deficiency) and type 2 (insulin resistance plus impaired secretion), and maps how…
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – Summary
Learn the essentials of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), including its causes, risk factors, clinical presentation, and complications. This video provides a concise overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for AAA.
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.
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,…
