The Cormack–Lehane system classifies views obtained by direct laryngoscopy based on the structures seen. It was initially described by R.S. Cormack and J. Lehane in 1984 as a way of simulating potential scenarios that trainee anaesthetists might face. [1] A modified version that subdivided Grade 2 was initially described in 1998. [2]
The score is assessed by asking the patient, in a sitting posture, to open their mouth and to protrude the tongue as much as possible. [1] The anatomy of the oral cavity is visualized; specifically, the assessor notes whether the base of the uvula, faucial pillars (the arches in front of and behind the tonsils) and soft palate are visible.

Indeed this is true, and in fact, it is more important whether the epiglottis can be lifted or not, rather than the vocal cords or arithenoids are fully seen (2a/2b)
The Akai VS-2 was the first VCR with an on-screen display, originally named the Interactive Monitor System. By displaying the information directly on the television screen, this innovation eliminated the need for the user to be physically near the VCR to program recording, read the tape counter, or perform other common features.
Writing in The New England Journal of Medicine, Reginald Greene commented: “Those interested in the history of science are indebted to Vaughan for producing this wonderful biography of Allan Cormack and for creating an expert and vivid description of one of the two streams of discovery that led to the invention of computed tomography.” [5] Robin Cherry, who was one of Cormack's students in ...
The clip opens with Chris Kattan, who appeared in the sketch and performed on SNL from 1996 to 2003, discussing Ferrell's exposed belly. "It's hard to be serious when you see that stomach," he ...
[77] [78] Furthermore, one study of experienced anesthesiologists, on the widely used Cormack–Lehane classification system, found they did not score the same patients consistently over time, and that only 25% could correctly define all four grades of the widely used Cormack–Lehane classification system.

Between 2000 and 2001, Cormack was the interim CEO of the Aberdeen Football Club. [2] In June 2017, Cormack returned to the club as an investor and member of the board. [3] Cormack was eventually elevated to the position of Vice-Chairman of the club, after which the team’s new training facility was named after him. [4]
