Psoriatic Arthritis
Overview Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, affecting up to 30% of patients with skin psoriasis. It commonly presents in adults aged 30–50 years, with equal gender distribution. The disease is highly variable, involving peripheral joints, axial skeleton, entheses, and skin/nails. Delay in diagnosis is common and can result…

Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Overview Hepatocellular carcinoma (also known as hepatoma ) is a primary cancer arising from hepatocytes in predominantly cirrhotic liver. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a leading cause of death worldwide, and cirrhosis is the main risk factor. Infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C is the main cause of underlying liver disease. Prevention of chronic liver disease would greatly reduce…

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…

Types of Lymphoma Lymphoma is malignancy originating in the lymph nodes. There are two types: Hodgkins lymphoma Non-hodgkins lymphoma Classic Clinical Presentation Lymphadenopathy Constitutional symptoms Fever Night sweats Weight loss Differential Diagnosis of Lymphadenopathy Lymphoma Leukaemia Metastasis Infection Connective tissue disease – rheumatoid arthritis, SLE Infiltration – sarcoidosis Drugs – phenytoin Hodgkin's lymphoma Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma…

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…

Arrythmias
Overview An arrythmia refers to any disturbance in cardiac electrical activity that is not normal sinus rhythm with normal atrioventricular conduction. This may include changes in rate, rhythm or site of origin of the electrical signal for contraction. 1 Normal conduction of the heart For the heart to pump normally 2 : SA node initiates…

Clinical Anatomy – Midbrain (structure, function and midbrain lesions)
Explore the clinical anatomy of the midbrain, focusing on its key structures such as the cerebral peduncles, tectum, and cranial nerve nuclei. This video explains the midbrain’s functions, including motor control and visual reflexes, and discusses common lesions and their clinical implications.
Hyperparathyroidism – types, causes, pathophysiology, treatment
Learn how hyperparathyroidism causes high parathyroid hormone and disrupts calcium-phosphate balance—covering primary, secondary, and tertiary types. This clear, concise explainer dives into PTH physiology, showing how the gland responds to low calcium and high phosphate, and how PTH acts on bone, kidney, and vitamin D activation to raise serum calcium and lower phosphate. You’ll learn…
Myocarditis – causes, pathophysiology, investigation and treatment
Myocarditis is inflammation of the cardiac muscle usually following an infection, trauma or ischaemic event to the heart. It is also associated with rheumatological diseases such as SLE. Myocarditis can be acute or chronic. For most cases in routine clinical practice, a specific aetiology is not found. Viruses remain the most common cause, and often…
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.
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,…
