Authors Dr. Armando Faigl Areej zeeshan Ahmed Overview Liver cysts are fluid filled cavities in the liver that are asymptomatic and usually found incidentally on abdominal imaging. Larger cysts are more commonly associated with symptoms and complications. Clinical Manifestations Differential diagnosis for all liver cysts Liver abscess Benign tumors Malignant tumors Regenerative nodules Cholelithiasis GERD…
View topic ↗Renal Cell Carcinoma
Overview Renal cell carcinomas (originate within the renal cortex) are responsible for 85% of all primary renal neoplasms. Transitional cell carcinomas of the renal pelvis are the next most common (~8%). Renal medullary carcinoma is a rare form of RCC seen in sickle cell disease. The most common pathological type of renal cell carcinoma is clear cell…
View topic ↗Acute Diabetes Complication (DKA, HHS, Hypoglycaemia)
Diabetic Ketoacidosis Ketoacidosis: A condition resulting from deficient insulin availability, leading to lipid oxidation and metabolism rather than glucose metabolism. The insulin absence results in free fatty acid (FFA) released from adipose tissue and in unregulated hepatic FFA oxidation and ketogenesis. Type I Diabetes: Autoimmune disease where there is attack of beta cells of the…
View topic ↗Umbilical Hernia
Overview Umbilical hernias are one of the most common surgical conditions in infants and children. In infantile umbilical hernia there is a pathological failure of obliteration of umbilical defect. Umbilical hernia can also occur in adults and is usually acquired due to increased intrabdominal pressure due to obesity, pregnancy, ascites. Management is surgery. Hernia: A bulge or protrusion of…

Baker's Cyst Knee – posterior knee swelling and pain
Baker’s cysts, also known as popliteal cysts, are among the most common knee disorders. These fluid-filled cysts develop at the back of the knee in the popliteal fossa and result from the enlargement of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa, a bursa located between the gastrocnemius and semimembranosus muscles. Baker’s cysts typically form in adults due to knee…
Human Metabolism Map – Cellular Respiration (Glycolysis and The Krebs Cycle)
Explore the key stages of cellular respiration, focusing on glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, and how they contribute to energy production in cells. This video breaks down complex biochemical pathways into clear steps to support your understanding of metabolism.
Immunology Map II – Organs and Tissues
Explore the primary and secondary organs and tissues of the immune system, including the bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, and spleen. This video explains how these structures support immune cell development, activation, and coordination.
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.
Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
Overview Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder of the presynaptic neuromuscular junction. It causes impaired acetylcholine release, producing the characteristic triad of proximal muscle weakness, reduced reflexes and autonomic dysfunction. LEMS may occur as a paraneoplastic syndrome—most commonly associated with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)—or as a non-tumour-associated autoimmune disorder. Neuromuscular junction: connection…
