Diverticular Disease
Overview Diverticula of the colon consist of outpouchings of mucous membrane through the muscle wall of the bowel. In the colon, diverticula are found most commonly in the sigmoid and descending colon, and become increasingly rare in passing from the left to the right side of the colon. They are unusual before the age of 40…

Adductor-related Groin Pain
Overview Adductor-related groin pain is a clinical entity characterised by pain localised to the hip-adductor region, with both tenderness of the adductors and recognisable pain reproduced by resisted hip adduction. It commonly affects athletes participating in sports involving kicking, sprinting, rapid acceleration, cutting or change of direction. 1 The term encompasses acute adductor injuries and…

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…

Supraventricular Tachycardia
Overview The term supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), whilst often used synonymously with AV nodal re-entry tachycardia (AVNRT), can be used to refer to any tachydysrhythmia arising from above the level of the Bundle of His. Different types of SVT arise from or are propagated by the atria or AV node, typically producing a narrow-complex tachycardia (unless aberrant conduction is present). Classification…

Addison's Disease
Overview Addison's disease is a disease characterised by adrenal insufficiency. Adrenal insufficiency results in a decrease of the adrenal gland hormones: mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids and to an extent androgens. There are many causes of addison's disease. The most common cause in the developed world is autoimmune (approximately 70% cases). Signs and symptoms of adrenal sufficiency don't…

Asthma
Overview Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation disorder due to complex interactions between inflammatory cells, mediators and airway cells. In young children in whom lung function testing is not feasible, including most preschool children, asthma is defined by the presence of variable respiratory symptoms. Asthma is one of the most common causes of presentation to the Emergency…

Chronic Lower Limb Ischaemia: Intermittent Claudication
Overview Chronic lower limb ischemia can be classified using the Fontaine classification: I – asymptomatic II – intermittent claudication III – rest pain IV – ulcers/gangrene Grades III and IV are classified as Critical Limb Ischemia. Intermittent claudication is a type of chronic lower limb ischemia that presents with muscle pain on exercise and is…

Explanations learners return to.
Causes of Haematuria
Learn the key causes of haematuria, from urinary tract infections and kidney stones to glomerular diseases and malignancies. This video provides a clear overview to help you approach the evaluation and diagnosis of blood in the urine.
Quadriceps Muscle – quadriceps mujscle injury, strain, quadriceps contusion
Learn about the quadriceps muscle group, common injuries such as strains and contusions, and their underlying mechanisms. This video explains the anatomy, symptoms, and management strategies for quadriceps-related conditions in both athletic and everyday settings.
ANCA Associated Vasculitis (Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody) – Causes, Pathophysiology, Types
Understand ANCA-associated vasculitis, a group of autoimmune diseases marked by inflammation of small blood vessels due to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. This video explains the underlying causes, immunopathology, and differentiates between major types such as GPA, MPA, and EGPA.
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.
Aortic Aneurysm
Overview An aortic aneurysm is a pathological dilatation of the aorta caused by weakening of the arterial wall. It may involve the aortic root, ascending aorta, arch, descending thoracic aorta, thoracoabdominal aorta or abdominal aorta. Most aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally or through screening. Progressive enlargement increases the risk of rupture, dissection,…
