Bronchiolitis
Overview Bronchiolitis is often a viral cause mainly Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Bronchiolitis is the most common respiratory tract infection of neonates and is usually self-limiting. A major source of confusion of treatment is differentiating a viral bronchiolitis to asthma. In summary bronchiolitis is usually seen in infants <2yo. Asthma is seen in older children. Bronchiolitis…

Cystic Fibrosis
Overview Cystic fibrosis causes the dehydration of the mucus lumen causing thick sticky mucus to build up. This occurs mainly the lungs, causing productive cough and increasing rates in respiratory infections, and the pancreas causing pancreatic dysfunction. Cystic fibrosis occurs due to a mutation in the CFTR gene. Salty sweat is also another important characteristic…

Primary Hyperaldosteronsim (Conn Syndrome)
Overview Primary hyperaldosteronism (also known as Conn syndrome when caused by a solitary aldosterone-producing adenoma) is an endocrine disorder characterized by the autonomous, unregulated overproduction of aldosterone from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. Under physiological conditions, aldosterone secretion is regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and serum potassium levels. In primary hyperaldosteronism, aldosterone…

Acne
Overview Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous units, most commonly involving the face, neck, chest, and back. It is characterized by the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, deep scars. While classically viewed as a rite of passage during adolescence, acne can persist into or present for…

Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
Overview Polymyalgia rheumatica is a common inflammatory condition affecting older adults, typically over 50 years of age, characterised by pain and stiffness in the shoulder and pelvic girdles. It is strongly associated with elevated inflammatory markers and responds dramatically to low-dose corticosteroids. PMR is a clinical diagnosis and can mimic other rheumatic or non-rheumatic disorders.…

Spondylarthropathy
Overview The spondyloarthropathies are a diverse group of inflammatory arthritides that share certain genetic predisposing factors and clinical features. Their most characteristic feature is inflammatory back pain. Enthesitis, another characteristic feature, involves inflammation at sites where tendons, ligaments, or joint capsules attach to bone. Features of Spondylarthropathy Sacroiliac and spinal (axial involvement) Enthesitis at long attachments…

Carotid Artery Disease
Overview Carotid artery disease refers to atherosclerotic narrowing of the carotid artery lumen. It is associated with approximately 10-15% of all ischaemic strokes. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a principal cause of long-term disability in much of the industrialised world. The degree of internal carotid artery stenosis is the most important…

Starch
Starch is a major source of energy for the diet. Starch is made up of glucose molecules linked together forming linear chains and also branching chains. These chains are tightly packed and organised into granules where they are stored for energy in plants. By breaking this organised system and releasing the glucose, humans are able…
Colon Cancer Carcinogensis
Understand the process of colon cancer carcinogenesis, from genetic mutations in APC and KRAS to the progression through adenoma-carcinoma sequence. This video highlights key molecular pathways and risk factors involved in colorectal cancer development. Video was part of 2014 Summer Scholarship Project with CSIRO called "The Hungry Microbiome" For more visit: http://www.csiro.au/hungrymicrobiome/

Dive deep into Community Acquired Pneumonia with this detailed overview covering causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. Learn essential clinical insights to recognize and manage CAP effectively in various healthcare settings.
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.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Overview Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disorder of peripheral nerves and nerve roots, causing demyelination, impaired nerve conduction, weakness, sensory disturbance and reduced or absent reflexes. Typical CIDP causes progressive or relapsing symmetrical proximal and distal weakness with sensory loss developing over at least 8 weeks . This time course helps…
