Rheumatoid Arthritis
Overview Rheumatoid arthritis is a common systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of a destructive polyarthritis with a predisposition for affecting the small joints of the hands and feet and the wrists. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthritis, with a lifetime prevalence of up to 1 percent worldwide. Like many autoimmune diseases, the etiology…

Achilles Tendinopathy & Rupture
Overview Achilles tendinopathy & rupture are common causes of posterior ankle pain and disability, particularly in active adults. Tendinopathy presents with chronic pain, stiffness, and impaired function, while rupture is an acute injury characterised by a sudden “pop” and loss of plantarflexion power. Achilles tendon injuries are increasingly prevalent due to sports participation, with rupture…

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Overview CRPS is a disproportionate, regional pain syndrome of a limb that typically follows injury or surgery and features sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor/oedema, and motor/trophic changes. The prevalence after limb fracture/surgery varies widely (≈1–7% overall, higher in some distal radius cohorts) and early recognition with rehabilitation improves outcome. Important risk factors include fracture (especially wrist/ankle), immobilisation,…

Aneurysm
Overview An aneurysm is an abnormal localised dilatation of a blood vessel with at least 50% increase in diameter compared to its normal diameter. It is seen more often in arteries compared to veins. Aneurysms are usually asymptomatic until they are very large or they rupture. A ruptured aneurysm can cause massive bleeding and death.…

Caplan Syndrome
Overview Caplan syndrome, also known as rheumatoid pneumoconiosis, is a rare condition seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had occupational exposure to inhaled dust, particularly coal dust or silica. It is characterised by multiple, rounded pulmonary nodules and underlying pneumoconiosis. It primarily affects middle-aged male coal workers and is now rare in…

Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is a primary osseous malignant neoplasm composed of mesenchymal cells producing osteoid and immature bone, even if only in small amounts

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,…

Hormones in body fluid homestasis (ADH/vasopressin, Aldosterone and Natriuretic peptides)
Explore how key hormones like ADH (vasopressin), aldosterone, and natriuretic peptides regulate body fluid balance, blood pressure, and sodium levels. This video breaks down their mechanisms of action, triggers, and roles in maintaining homeostasis.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, investigations, treatment
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs with symptoms like fatigue, rash, and joint pain. This video explains its underlying pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and current treatment strategies.
Sensory Tracts – Dorsal Column (Medial lemniscus) Pathway
Learn how the dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway transmits fine touch, vibration, and proprioception from the body to the brain. This video breaks down its anatomy, function, and clinical relevance in sensory deficits.
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.

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.
Cerebral Aneurysm
Overview Cerebral (Intracranial) aneurysm is a focal dilation of an intracranial artery due to weakness of the arterial wall. It occurs in roughly 1-5% of adults and can lead to permanent disability. The most common type is a saccular “berry” aneurysm. Most common location is anterior communicating artery. Cerebral aneurysms are typically asymptomatic until rupture,…
