Liver Cirrhosis Complications
Portal Hypertension Overview Normal portal vein pressure is 5–10mmHg. Portal hypertension develops when the portal pressure is greater than 12mmHg. Mechanism of disease Increased Intrahepatic resistance of blood flow through the liver due to cirrhosis Increased splanchnic blood flow secondary to vasodilation leading to increased portal flow through liver Cirrhosis is the most common…

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
Overview Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) is a malignancy of lymphoid cells. The two main ALL is T-cells ALL and B-cells ALL. In ALL there is uncontrolled proliferation of immature lymphoblasts in the bone marrow leading to overcrowding affecting other cell lineage. It is the commonest cancer in childhood, rare in adults and has a strong associated with…

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…

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…

Trochanteric bursitis – pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment
Trochanteric bursitis causes lateral hip pain, swelling, and tenderness—learn causes, diagnosis, and effective treatments for trochanteric bursitis and IT band–related pain. This clear, clinical guide explains how inflammation of the greater trochanteric bursa from overuse, muscle dysfunction, arthritis, or acute injury produces pain, snapping, and referred thigh symptoms, and how to distinguish it from stress…
Hyperthyroidism Overview (causes, pathophysiology)
Learn about hyperthyroidism, a condition characterized by excessive thyroid hormone production that accelerates metabolism. This video covers common causes like Graves’ disease, the underlying pathophysiology, and how it affects multiple body systems.
Coagulation Cascade and Fibrinolysis – clotting factors, regulation and control mechanism
Explore the coagulation cascade and fibrinolysis, detailing the roles of clotting factors and the step-by-step process of blood clot formation. This video also explains how these pathways are regulated and balanced by control mechanisms to prevent excessive bleeding or clotting.
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.
Cervical Stinger/Burner Injuries
Overview A cervical stinger or burner is a transient peripheral nerve injury caused by traction, compression or direct trauma to a cervical nerve root or the upper brachial plexus. It typically occurs during collision or contact sport and produces sudden unilateral burning, stinging or electric-shock pain radiating from the neck or shoulder into the arm.…
