Varicose Veins
Overview Varivose veins (VV) are long, torturous and dilated don't veins of the superficial venous system. There is a spectrum ranging from telangiectasias (dilated interdermal venules less than 1 mm), through to reticular veins (non-palpable subdermal veins 1–3 mm) to varicose veins (greater than 3 mm). 35% of the general population affected. The venous system of…

Gout
Overview Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis that is increasing in prevalence. Gout (monosodium urate crystal deposition disease) is characterized biochemically by extracellular fluid urate saturation. Tends to occur earlier in life in men than women, and is rare in childhood. Prevalence is increasing. It is associated with many serious comorbidities such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease,…

Gestational Diabetes
Overview Diabetes: A group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Two types Diabetes Mellitus Type I (autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the pancreas) and Type II (insulin resistance followed by beta cell atrohpy) Gestational Diabetes: diabetes diagnosed during the second half of pregnancy with…

Aortic Regurgitation (incompetence)
Overview Patients with acute mitral regurgitation (MR) are often gravely ill with significant hemodynamic abnormalities that require urgent medical and usually surgical treatment . Aortic Reguritation produces a “diastolic murmur”, which is a murmur heart after the second heart sound (S2 – aortic and pulmonary valve closure) when the ventricles are filled with blood. Aetiology &…

Urinary Incontinence
Overview Urinary incontinence is defined by the International Continence Society as the objective demonstration of involuntary leakage of urine. It is a common and distressing clinical condition that severely impacts physical health, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. The condition is broadly caused by a disruption in the coordinated lower urinary tract mechanisms responsible…

Pernicious Anaemia
Overview Pernicious Anaemia is a condition where there is lack of intrisinc factor, a glycoprotein responsible for the absorption of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is an essential vitamin responsible for many physiological process in our body. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes megaloblastic anaemia and maybe accompanied by neurological abnormalities. Aetiology Pernicious Anaemia is associated with…

Peripheral Arterial Disease (Chronic Lower Limb Ischaemia)
Overview Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is most commonly caused by atherosclerotic narrowing or occlusion of the arteries supplying the lower limbs. It may be asymptomatic, produce exertional intermittent claudication, or progress to chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) with rest pain, ulceration or gangrene. Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) results from a sudden reduction in limb perfusion and…

Hypersensitivity Type I reaction (Immediate or allergic reaction) – pathophysiology
Type 1 hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) explained: learn the IgE‑mediated mechanism, symptoms, and when it becomes life‑threatening. This video breaks down immediate hypersensitivity, showing how first exposure to an allergen (pollen, food, drug) primes the immune system and how IgE on mast cells and basophils triggers rapid degranulation, histamine release, and the cascade of mediators that…
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.
Acute Cholecystitis – Overview (signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, treatment)
Explore the key features of acute cholecystitis, including its signs, symptoms, and underlying pathophysiology. This video also reviews diagnostic strategies and treatment options such as antibiotics, supportive care, and cholecystectomy.
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,…
