Explanation

"No evidence of jaunce" means that the doctor did not find any signs of a medical condition called jaundice. Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes that happens when there's too much of a substance called bilirubin in the blood. This substance is produced when the liver breaks down old red blood cells. So, if a person doesn't show any signs of yellowing, they are said to have "no evidence of jaundice".
