Hypertension
Summary of Hypertension Hypertension can be divided into primary (essential) and secondary hypertension (a result of an underlying condition, ie. renal artery stenosis). It is important to identify wether this is an underlying cause of the hypertension based on history, risk factors and by ordering appropriate tests. Untreated, undiagnosed and poor compliancy can result in…
View topic ↗Primary Hypothyroidism
Overview Hypothyroidism: Variety of abnormalities that cause insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones. The most common cause is autoimmune thyroid disease Primary Hypothyroidism : Clinical state resulting from underproduction of T4 and T3. Low free T4 with an elevated TSH is diagnostic of primary hypothyroidism. Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease) is the most common cause of primary hypothyroidism.…
View topic ↗Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Overview Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies and the deposition of immune complexes in various tissues. It predominantly affects women of childbearing age, with a female-to-male ratio of approximately 9:1. The disease is more prevalent among individuals of African, Asian, and Hispanic descent, and its…

Overview Diabetes: A group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Two types Diabetes Mellitus Type I (autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the pancreas) and Type II (insulin resistance followed by beta cell atrohpy) Gestational Diabetes: diabetes diagnosed during the second half of pregnancy with…
View topic ↗Anklylosing Spondylitis (AS)
Overview Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the axial skeleton, especially the sacroiliac joints and spine. It is a subtype of the seronegative spondyloarthropathies and is characterised by inflammatory back pain, morning stiffness, and eventual spinal fusion in severe cases. AS often presents in young adults, typically males, and…

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 …

Approach to Polyneuropathy – causes, pathophysiology, investigations
Polyneuropathy is a disorder that involves damage to multiple peripheral nerve fibers, with the distal nerves usually affected most prominently. And so the classic presentation is a symmetric distal burning or loss of sensation. Common causes include alcohol and diabetes to rare causes such as charcot marie tooth disease.
Membrane Protein II
Dive deeper into Membrane Proteins in this educational video, focusing on their roles in transport, enzymatic activity, signal transduction, and cell recognition. This video explains the structure-function relationship of key membrane proteins, helping you grasp their clinical and physiological importance for medical exams.
Pulmonary Embolism PART II
Explore the diagnosis and management of Pulmonary Embolism in this continuation video. Learn about clinical scoring systems, imaging techniques, and treatment options including anticoagulation and thrombolysis.
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…
