Hello! We filmed a video already on this- if you go to the home page- and look for the jaundice video. Hopefully you'll find that helpful?
Hai Tala. Thank you for the video. Is there a way that we can differentiate molding from craniosynostosis without any other associated dysmorphism.

The big difference with craniosynostosis is that the skull plates are actually fused together- so you can't really feel a gap between the plates. In molding you either feel a gap or the sutures are actually over-riding (like overlapping each other- until they all fall back into place). We should probably make a video on this! Great question- thank you!!
Hi Tala Is it possible to do a video on the management of high direct bilirubin please.
