The Clavicle Matching Program (CMP) is a computer program that compares the shape of collarbones to better help the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency find a possible match to someone still missing. When historical data, DNA, and other contextual information aren't available to narrow down the list, the CMP can be used. First, the clavicles in each of the radiographs were digitally traced to create an outline. Then the clavicles in the lab are 3-D scanned using a surface scanner (Artec Space Spider). The CMP compares the scans from multiple angles to the traced outlines and identifies any similarities. The program can create a shortlist of names for further analysis that may lead to identification. The pictured elements are part of the Agency's reference collection and do not depict casework.

Reportage on the Jeunes Pousses, a follow-up care and pneumo-pediatric rehabilitation unit specialising in climate therapy for asthma. The centre is located in Briançon, Frances highest town, which is part of WHOs Healthy Cities programme. At this altitude the oxygen partial pressure is reduced which has a positive effect on the cardio-vascular system. The concentration of allergens is also reduced. Briançon is one of the top places for high-altitude climate therapy due to its hours of sunlight, almost total lack of fog, its very low hygrometry, its almost total lack of dust mites, the scarcity of damp, its short pollen season and a very low levels of pollution. Karim, 10, suffers from asthma and comes from the Paris region. He arrived at the Jeunes Pousses this year. He carries out a PFT (pulmonary function test) under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

Reportage in the Chrysalide wellness centre in France. According to Dr Bourdin, music therapy is a therapeutic and personal development technique. A precise listening test is performed, then a corresponding course of treatment using sound is established. This will rebalance the hearing system, which in turn produces dynamic, remedial and preventative effects. The treatment involves sessions retraining the hearing system, using music that has been modified to reflect the listening curve obtained from the listening test. Each frequency corresponds to a part of the body.
