unremarkable
"ua" in a medical journal stands for "utan anmärkning" which translates into "without remarks" or the more commonly used "unremarkable".

: Please see Cressy, MEDICINSK OCH FARMACEUTISK ORDBOK. - Addendum: "Unremarkable" would, given the "Medical"context, be a grave translation error.

NAD is another possibility, but it certainly does not exclude the option "unremarkable". Cf. Glossary entry Spanish>English 2011 @ http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/medical_general...

SJLD
: of course, NAD or unremarkable are often interchangeable - depends on the actual context - and certainly not a "grave translation error"

Note too that there are no perfect bilingual dictionaries in any language pair. Dictionaries often do not take into account current or common usage or international variants. This is also why one cannot rely solely on dictionaries for medical translation.
