To celebrate International Translation Day 2020, Podcast Host Matt Baird interviewed ATA Past President Nick Hartmann for a look back at his career and the translation and interpreting industry—from the days of fax machines and modems in the early 1980s to the current age of specialization and machine translation. Nick also talks about ATA's own story and his experiences in the Association, including that first feeling of being welcomed into an amazing community, the growing professionalism of the Association, his early decision to volunteer with the Sci-Tech Division, and his two stints on the ATA Board.

Her professional/academic Interests: Clinical research related to thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, clinical care of patients with various thyroid diseases, and medical education. During this interview, the following topics are addressed: What is a thyroid nodule? A lump that could be benign or cancerous The prevalence depends on how you search for them 60% of people in the U.S. will have nodules 90% are benign Sometimes done during routine physical exam Sometimes the patient discovers it Usually is discovered when imaging is done for other reasons — during CT scan Medical history of radiation to head or neck as a child, family history of thyroid cancer, size of nodule, abnormal lymph nodes in the neck Usually patients with a nodule are asymptomatic Best test to look at the nodule is an ultrasound of the nodule Features in the ultra sound determines how suspicious a nodule is A biopsy is ordered based on appearance, if nodules are clearly defined are more likely to suggest they are benign If nodule looks dark or borders are irregular, or increased blood flow within the nodule may cause concern Quality and resolution of thyroid ultra sound is high resolution and provides a clear look Coaching patients through the anxiety through a possible biopsy The majority of nodules can be observed ATA guidelines suggest observation based on the result of the biopsy Suspicious nodules that are less than 1cm are sometimes determined to best observe and not remove Cancer will be in only 5% of biopsies A smaller, low risk cancer should warrant a lesser surgery — and reduce the chance of surgical complications When to remove a nodule even if no cancer? If other structures are being obstructed, such as breathing or swallowing, sometimes surgery relieves symptoms regardless if cancer or not Observation — and follow up recommendations 15% are labeled indeterminate If surgery, surgeon needs to be experienced — many surgeons conducting thyroid surgery are low in experience The Mayo Clinic thyroid cancer team Biopsy results in two hours versus two weeks NOTES The American Thyroid Association Dr. Regina Castro 64: Managing Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules, with Dr. Kimberly Vanderveen from Denver Center for Endocrine Surgery
