ACL Tear
Overview Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common knee injuries, particularly in young athletes involved in pivoting sports (soccer, basketball, skiing). ACL injuries account for ~50% of all knee ligament injuries, with an incidence of ~68 per 100,000 annually, more common in females due to anatomical and biomechanical risk factors. ACL…
View topic ↗Acute Heart Failure
Overview Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet all the needs of the body. It is caused by heart muscle damage or dysfunction, valve problems, heart rhythm disturbances and other rarer causes. Acute heart failure can present as new-onset heart failure in people without known cardiac…
View topic ↗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…
View topic ↗Peripheral Arterial Disease (Chronic Lower Limb Ischaemia)
Overview Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): Ratio of ankle to brachial systolic blood pressure, determined using Doppler ultrasound flow. Claudication: Pain, ache, or cramp in muscles that increases with walking or leg exertion in a predictable manner and resolves with rest. Peripheral arterial disease: Atherosclerosis leading to narrowing of the major arteries distal to the aortic arch.…
View topic ↗Gallstone Disease
This section looks at gallstone disease in general. For info on cholecystitis specifically click here . Overview Gallstones, also called cholelithiasis, are solid deposits formed from components of bile, most commonly cholesterol or bilirubin. They usually develop within the gallbladder but may migrate into the biliary ducts. Gallstones range from very small particles to large stones…
View topic ↗Glomerulonephritis
Overview Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the glomerulus. Glomerulonephritis is classified by clinical syndrome/presentation (e.g. nephritic or nephrotic syndrome), histological appearance , or by aetiology. We will divide glomerulonephritis broadly into two broad types: Nephritic glomerulonephritis and nephrotic glormerulonephritis. Classification Two Types of Glomerular disease: Nephrotic Syndrome Nephritic Syndrome DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEPHROTIC AND NEPHRITIS SYNDROME …
View topic ↗Reactive Arthritis
Overview Reactive arthritis is a seronegative spondyloarthropathy that occurs after a genitourinary or gastrointestinal infection, typically presenting as an asymmetric oligoarthritis, often with associated conjunctivitis and urethritis (formerly Reiter’s syndrome). It most commonly affects young adults aged 20–40 and shows a strong association with HLA-B27. Incidence is estimated at 30–40 per 100,000, with higher rates…

Videos
Hand-drawn explanations that build the big picture as the concept unfolds.
Notes
Clear written explanations for review, reference and filling in the details.
Diagrams
Visual snapshots that help you easily review topics.
Questions
Test whether the explanation stayed with you—not just whether it looked familiar.
Good places to begin
Explanations learners return to.
Fed State
Explore the metabolic changes that occur in the fed state, when the body shifts to storing and utilizing nutrients after a meal. This video explains how insulin regulates glucose uptake, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and protein synthesis across key organs.
Cerebral Palsy – (DETAILED) Overview
This detailed video on Cerebral Palsy covers its causes, types, clinical features, and management strategies. Gain a comprehensive understanding of this neurological disorder essential for healthcare professionals and students.
Opioid Overdose
Learn about opioid overdose, its signs, symptoms, and the urgent steps needed for treatment and prevention. This video covers the causes, risk factors, and lifesaving interventions like naloxone administration.
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…
