Overview A bunion is the visible medial prominence that develops at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, most commonly as part of hallux valgus. The great toe drifts laterally towards the lesser toes while the first metatarsal drifts medially, widening the forefoot and making the metatarsal head more prominent. Bunions are common and may be painless. When…

Primary Hypothyroidism
Overview Hypothyroidism: Variety of abnormalities that cause insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones. The most common cause is autoimmune thyroid disease Primary Hypothyroidism : Clinical state resulting from underproduction of T4 and T3. Low free T4 with an elevated TSH is diagnostic of primary hypothyroidism. Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease) is the most common cause of primary hypothyroidism.…

Guillain–Barré Syndrome
Overview Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute, immune-mediated polyneuropathy typically triggered by a preceding gastrointestinal or respiratory infection. It is characterised by an autoimmune attack on the peripheral nerves, leading to mainly demyelination but also axonal degeneration, which impairs nerve conduction and causes muscle weakness and paralysis. GBS affects about 1–2 per 100,000 people annually.…

Tuberculosis
Overview Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic, communicable infectious disease caused by the acid-fast bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis . It primarily affects the pulmonary parenchyma but possesses the capacity to disseminate to virtually any organ system via hematogenous and lymphatic spread.

Good places to begin
Explanations learners return to.
Endocrinology – Glucagon
Learn the key functions of glucagon in glucose metabolism, including its role in glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and ketogenesis. This educational video highlights how glucagon maintains blood sugar during fasting, with clinical insights relevant to diabetes and endocrine physiology.
Cell Membrane II – Types of Lipid Membranes
Discover the different classes of lipids that make up the cell membrane and how they contribute to its structure and function. This video also explores key evidence supporting the fluid mosaic model and provides a sense of the membrane’s scale and dynamic nature.
Peritoneum Anatomy
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.…
