PR
PR = Pyruvate Ringer's. It looks like we leave this one as is in the translation.

"To test the hypothesis that fluid resuscitation with Ringer’s solution enriched with pyruvate (PR), a physiological antioxidant and energy substrate, affords protection of myocardial metabolism and electrophysiological performance superior to lactated Ringer’s (LR) during hypovolemia and hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion."

The direction of translation is unclear. However, PR remains Pyruvate Ringer's in this context.

Per Rectum (to be taken rectally)
PR is a common abbreviation of the words "Per Rectum". Meaning; a medical product/medicine to use rectally.

Other commonly used terms/abbreviations in that field are; PO (Per Os = taken by mouth) or IV (Intravenous = Given in the vein) etc.
I've previously been working in hospitals for +10 years (in Denmark), with a license in medicine, so I know that these abbreviations are often used in ex. patients' medicine papers, etc. However, it's important to remember that PR can mean multiple terms, depending on the medical context. Ex. if we're talking PR in a cardiology context, it often means "Pulse Rate", etc.

: Lactated Ringer's is an intravenous fluid and can’t be administered rectally.

Thank you very much for the information! I can see that now that I've googled it.

FYI your tone is a tad harsh! I provided a sincere response, not a joke. I suggested "Per Rectum" as it often abbreviates as "PR" in the context of med. prescriptions. Admittedly, I should have googled "Ringer's Solution" first, but it slipped my mind.
