Sjögren’s Syndrome
Overview Sjögren’s Syndrome is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration and destruction of exocrine glands, primarily affecting the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca). It commonly affects middle-aged women, with a female:male ratio of approximately 9:1. It can be primary (isolated) or secondary (associated…

Dupuytren’s Contracture
Overview Dupuytren’s disease is a benign fibroproliferative disorder affecting the palmar fascia. Abnormal collagen deposition produces firm nodules and cords beneath the skin of the palm, which may progressively shorten and pull one or more fingers into flexion. The ring and little fingers are most commonly affected. Contracture usually develops slowly over months or years…

Pericarditis
Overview Pericarditis is the most common form of pericardial disease and a relatively common cause of chest pain. The etiology of pericarditis may be infectious (eg, viral and bacterial) or noninfectious (eg, systemic inflammatory diseases, cancer, and post-cardiac injury syndromes). Tuberculosis is a major cause of pericarditis in developing countries but accounts for less than 5%…

Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Overview Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare, inherited primary immunodeficiency characterised by defective function of the NADPH oxidase enzyme complex in phagocytes, leading to failure of the oxidative burst required for intracellular killing of pathogens. This results in recurrent, often life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections, particularly with catalase-positive organisms, and predisposes to granuloma formation…

Interstitial Lung Disease
Overview Interstitial Lung Disease is also known as Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease (DPLD). A Heterogeneous collection of restrictive lung conditions (>100) that primarily (or at least initially) disrupt the pulmonary interstitium. Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) are grouped together as they share similar pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical features and radiological findings. Pulmonary Interstitium: Intervening structural tissue between the alveoli space and pulmonary…

Goodpasture Syndrome (Anti-GBM disease)
Overview Goodpasture syndrome, now more precisely termed anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease , is a rare autoimmune small-vessel vasculitis affecting lungs and kidneys, typically manifesting with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) has an estimated incidence of approximately 0.5 to 1.8 cases per million per year. It demonstrates a bimodal age…

Pertussis
Author Megan Miner Armando Faigl Overview Pertussis, also known as “whooping cough”, is a contagious, acute respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In babies, the infection can sometimes lead to pneumonia and occasionally brain damage and can even be life threatening. Older children and adults can get whooping cough and can spread it…

Salivary glands – Anatomy and Physiology
Learn the anatomy and physiology of the major salivary glands, including the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. This video covers their structure, secretion pathways, and role in digestion and oral health.
Glucocorticoid Induced Osteoporosis and Fractures – mechanism and pathophysiology of fractures
Glucocorticoids are used in many inflammatory, autoimmune conditions. While being used to treat an underlying disease gluocorticoids are associated with an appreciable risk of bone loss and increases risk of fracture, which is most pronounced in the first few months of use. In general risk of fracture increases with age, dose and duration of use.…
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.

Student, Neelain University
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.
Cervical Radiculopathy
Overview Cervical radiculopathy is dysfunction of a cervical nerve root caused by irritation or compression as it leaves the spine. It commonly produces pain radiating from the neck into one arm, sometimes with paraesthesia, numbness, weakness or altered reflexes. A disc herniation or degenerative narrowing of the neural foramen is a common cause. Diagnosis is…
