Myelofibrosis
Overview Myelofibrosis is a type of myeloproliferative diseasecharacterized by clonal myeloid expansion, followed by progressive fibrous connective tissue deposition in the bone marrow, resulting in bone marrow failure. Clonal evolution can also occur, with an increased risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. In addition, disabling constitutional symptoms secondary to the high circulating levels of…

Takayasu Arteritis
Overview Takayasu arteritis is a rare, chronic large-vessel vasculitis primarily affecting the aorta and its major branches, leading to stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. It most commonly affects young women (<40 years), particularly of Asian descent. The global incidence is estimated at 1–2 per million per year, with a female predominance (F:M ~9:1). It is…

Henoch–Schönlein Purpura (IgA Vasculitis)
Overview Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP), now termed IgA vasculitis, is the most common systemic vasculitis in children, characterised by IgA1-dominant immune complex deposition in small vessels, particularly affecting the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys. It predominantly occurs in children aged 3–10 years, with a slight male predominance, and often follows an upper respiratory tract infection.…

Amebiasis – entamoeba histolytica symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment
Amebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by entamoeba histolytica. Entamoeba histolytica infection is common worldwide and it can affect anyone, although it is more common in people who live in tropical areas with poor sanitary conditions. Several protozoan species in the genus Entamoeba colonize humans, but not all of them are associated with disease. Entamoeba…

Explore the structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems, including key organs and hormonal regulation. This video provides a clear overview to help you understand the fundamentals of human reproduction and its physiological processes.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, investigations, treatment
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs with symptoms like fatigue, rash, and joint pain. This video explains its underlying pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and current treatment strategies.
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.

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…
